Oh, right. Oops.

my $string = "ABCDEFGH";
my @string = split //, $string;
$final = (join "", @string[0..3])."-".(join "", @string[4..7]);
print $final; # if my code is right, this is "ABCD-EFGH"

If you're going to do that you might as well do

#!/usr/bin/perl

@list = split //, 'ABCDEFGH';

s&&local$/;
<DATA>&e&&y&;
&&d;& s#zoTfFdDsOt##g;
while/(\D)(\d+)/gi;

sub z{(&O-&O)*((&O-&O)*(&O-&O))}
sub o{&z-((&O-&O)*(&O-&O))+&O-&O}
sub T{&z-(&O-&O)}
sub f{&T+(&O-&O)}
sub F{(&O-(&O-&O))/(&O-&O)}
sub d{print chr shift}
sub D(@){map chr,@_}
sub s{print D$1->(@list[split//,$2])}
sub O{ord shift}
sub t{&z+&O-&O(A)}
