Simpler, yes. Easier to understand, no - unless you use ASCII codes all day long.

~~Also, note BrowserUK's solution, your map can be written simply as map chr, 0x21 .. 0x7e;~~

my @chars
  = ("a".."z", "A".."Z", 0..9
    , split //, qq(!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~));

looks a bit messy and it is difficult to see at a glance, or even with a long stare, if you've got them all. In fact, I think tilly will have missed one since qq{...} is going to lose the backslash so q{...} might have been better.

$ perl -le 'print for split m{}, qq{!@#{}[\]&*};'

$ perl -le 'print for split m{}, q{!@#{}[\]&*};'
