Ah, in that case, I think you were mostly on the right track except with the buffering thing and the end case for the for loop.

$| = 1;
foreach my $letter (split '', $string) {
    print $letter;
    sleep 1;
}

Somewhat obscure, but I think the following is cute:

sleep($|=print) for split '', $string;

print returns 1 if it's successful.
