So you want to split "what's up, doc?" into
@chars = qw( w h a t ' s u p , d o c ? );
That is, every character except spaces?
First, remove spaces from the string:
$string =~ tr/\n\r\f\t //d; # translate whitespace to nothing
Then, split the string into characters:
@chars = split //, $string;
You could also take an approach like:
@chars = $string =~ /\S/g;
