This does not do what you apparently want it to do.  This makes $yourText
the first element of @yourText.

Let's take a stroll down debugger lane for the following script:

#---
$yourText = 'your text';
@yourText = $yourText;
@yourText = split(//,$yourText);
exit;
#---

Enter h or `h h' for help.

main::(Dev:Pseudo:1):   $yourText = 'your text';
  DB<1> s
main::(Dev:Pseudo:2):   @yourText = $yourText;
  DB<1> X yourText
$yourText = 'your text'
  DB<2> s
main::(Dev:Pseudo:3):   @yourText = split(//,$yourText);
  DB<2> X yourText
$yourText = 'your text'
@yourText = (
   0  'your text'                                       #array is one element
)
  DB<3> s
main::(Dev:Pseudo:4):   exit;
  DB<3> X yourText
$yourText = 'your text'
@yourText = (                                           #array is many elements
   0  'y'
   1  'o'
   2  'u'
   3  'r'
   4  ' '
   5  't'
   6  'e'
   7  'x'
   8  't'
)
  DB<4> s
