Shouldn't that be s/./+1/gs;

$_="YASWOCCIAS"; don't contain any newlines so it doesn't matter in this case. In other cases it might, depending on how you define "character" in your application. For some apps (like word processors), s/\S/+1/g; might be the right choise if you like to use this algorithm in your production environment... :-)
