Well then, I'd do it like that

my @lst = qw( A,G AG,CT TC,CA GAT,CGA CGAT,TG ,G
  ACGT X,A AA,G AC,GGC ATGA,TGG ATCXG,AAC ATA,TG GTA,YC);

for (@lst) {
    my $good = do {
        m/^ [ATCG]+ , [ATCG]+ $/x
          and not grep m/(.) .* \1/x, split ',';
    };
    print $_, $good ? ' good' : ' bad', "\n";
}

Output:

A,G good
AG,CT good
TC,CA good
GAT,CGA good
CGAT,TG good
,G bad
ACGT bad
X,A bad
AA,G bad
AC,GGC bad
ATGA,TGG bad
ATCXG,AAC bad
ATA,TG bad
GTA,YC bad

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
