How can I add character litterals like I can do in C. For example
print 'A' + 1
The above should print ‘B’ since ASCII ‘A’ + 1 gives ASCII ‘B’

chr(ord('A') + 1). Perl doesn’t have a character type, it has a string type. And a string doesn’t behave numerically as an ASCII value. You wantordto convert it to a numeric codepoint andchrto convert it back.
