You may want to have a look at the Lingua::EN::Sentence module. It includes support for abbreviations and acronyms and has a built-in list of these which cover many of the abbreviations you have listed (see the source code of the module for the full list).

You can also add your own items to the list like this: 

use Lingua::EN::Sentence qw( get_sentences add_acronyms );
 
add_acronyms('ed','eds');  # adding support for 'Ed. Eds.'
my $sentences = get_sentences($text);
for my $sentence (@$sentences) {
    # do something with $sentence
}

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:

    < &lt;
    > &gt;
