in thread Removing the first character from a variable

I was thinking to chop off the first character...

$id=~s/^(.)//;

and if you want to save it afterwards...

$chopped_character = $1;

NB: Regexps are not my strongest point, so post a reply if I am talking crap, preferably with an explanation of why!
