You don't understand split(). Read perlfunc 'split'.
my @characters = split //, $string_of_characters;
999 out 1000 times what you are doing is unnecessary in
perl. It is likely that you are writing perl scripts using
the same algorithms you wrote for Java. This is perl. Think
in perl, not Java.
If you show us what you are actually working on, we might
show you how to do it without character arrays.
