I assume you mean the first letter of a string.
There are a number of ways to do this (in true perl style), such as;
$string = s/^[A-Za-z]{1}([A-Za-z]+)$/$1/;
Assuming you have a letter in first place.
or even;
$string = reverse($string);
chop $string;
$string = reverse($string);

Code:
$str =~ s/^.(.*?)$/$1/s;Sincerely,
