Your use of q instead of qw is
probably the issue. You are assigning a single string to
@c, and then trying to extract the third value (index
2) which isn't defined.
my @c = qw' # % ( / 3 6 7 @ B C G Q R ^ s t ~ ';
It's one of those "off-by-one" letter errors.
Update: LD2 helped point out that this will
generate a warning "Possible attempt to put comments in qw() list"
when run with '-w' and 'strict', although it does print
'(' as being $c[2]. I'm upgrading to 5.6.1
from 5.6.0
on the test system right now just to make sure there's no
additional problems.
Update2: No additional problems in 5.6.1.
It runs with the same '-w' warning about comments.

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).
