I did some changes in to your code & was able to achieve what you were looking.Here is the code
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;
use Modern::Perl;
open FH, '<', 'Perl_file.txt' or die "Could not open file= $!";
while( <FH>) {
chomp($_);
my $line =$_;
$line =~ s/\s+//gs;
my $char_a = substr($line, 0, 2);
my $char_b = substr($line,2,2);
print $char_a;
print $char_b;
}
Data i inserted in to Perl_file.txt was
Raam
larry
marry
sephali
OUTPUT:
Raamlarrmarrseph
