This is the part of my actual code: 
..............
if($body_text=~m/Opening Balance (.*) Net Transaction (.*) Cash Total 
+(.*) Card Total (.*) Cheque Total (.*) Grand Total ([^ ]*) /)
{
$open_bal=join "",split ",",substr($1,1);
$net_trx=join "",split ",",substr($2,1);
$cash_total=join "",split ",",substr($3,1);
$card_total=join "",split ",",substr($4,1);
$cheque_total=join "",split ",",substr($5,1);
$grand_total=join "",split ",",substr($6,1);
print "Open Balance: ",$open_bal,"\n";
print "Net Transaction: ",$net_trx,"\n";
print "Cash Total: ",$cash_total,"\n";
print "Card Total: ",$card_total,"\n";
print "Cheque Total: ",$cheque_total,"\n";
print "Grand Total: ",$grand_total,"\n";
}
.....................

I just wanted to shorten the code using this line instead 
($open_bal,$net_trx,$cash_total,$card_total,$cheque_total,$grand_total
+)=join "",split ",",substr($$_,1) for (1..6);
