You want to use substr(), probably:
substr($string, 0, 1); # get the first character
substr($string, 1, 1); # get the second character
# etc.
substr("japhy", 1, 1); # 'a'
substr("japhy", 2, 3); # 'phy'
Read 'perldoc -f substr'. You might also want index(), to find the
occurrence of a substring in another string.
