in reply to iterating through scalar

to iterate is meant to be done against a list, not a scalar. Or you mean iterate on characters found in a string? This imply to build such list and then iterate over the list.

Please show some effort while asking question.

    Sorry for asking such question,as i am new to perl. What i need is ,i have a scalar element $name='krishna'.I need to print only any one of the character in the string like i need only 'i' to be printed.

      Maybe something like this: 

      c:\@Work\Perl\monks>perl -wMstrict -le
"my $name = 'krishna';
 print substr $name, 2, 1;
"
i
