string indexing

I am used to indexing a string in other languages, so i would like to say
$x="abcd";
print $x[3];
and see 'd' printed, but, of course, this isn't correct in perl.
so i did
@y=split(//,"abcd");
print $y[2],"\n";
and that's fine.
now, how do i do that without an intermediate array.
i want to say
print split(//,"abcd")[1],"\n";
but i get compilation error.
or is there some built-in way to index a string?
