Easier to understand? Debateable. I feel that this
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{!@#{}[\]&*};'

{

Update: Added one-liners to show backslash behaviour

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
