That could be caused by something erasing the first character after it's output to your screen. Send the output to a file, inspect the file (with 'hexdump -c', perhaps), and see whether there are unexpected control characters or something else that might be different than it appears. (There may be unexpected characters in the input, so you can check that the same way.) If the output is truly missing the first character, or if you can't find where the control characters are coming from, try stepping through your code with the Perl debugger to see what's really going on.
