in reply to How to access each element in an array Perl

Adding to the other comments if you really want to make this an array then use spaces between the letters, this is the delimiter for "qw" elements:

my @array = qw(L a r r y W a l l);

    Why not: 
    use Data::Dump;
my $string = 'LarryWall';
my @array = split//, $string;
dd @array;

    (Data::Dump is just to show what's in the array)

    Here's a oneliner doing the same thing

    perl -MData::Dump -e 'my $str = 'LarryWall'; my @arr = split//,$str; d
+d @arr;'
