If you want to parse bracketed boolean expressions, write a proper parser. For example, using Marpa::R2:
#! /usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use Data::Dumper; use Marpa::R2; my $dsl = << '__DSL__'; :default ::= action => [values] lexeme default = latm => 1 Expression ::= ('(') Expression (')') action => ::first | Assignment action => ::first | Expression ' & ' Expression | Expression ' | ' Expression Assignment ::= key '=' value key ~ [\w]+ value ~ [\w]+ __DSL__ my $grammar = 'Marpa::R2::Scanless::G'->new({ source => \$dsl }); for my $condition ( '(column08=Submit & column10=Delivered & column09= +Something)', '((column08=Submit & column10=Delivered & column09 +=Something) | (column08=Delivered))', '((column08=Submit & column10=Delivered & column09 +=Something) | (column08=Delivered & column09=Something))', ) { print $condition, "\n"; my $parser = 'Marpa::R2::Scanless::R'->new({ grammar => $grammar +}); $parser->read(\$condition); print Dumper $parser->value; }

($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-||-|5+lengthSq)`"S|oS2"`map{chr |+ord }map{substrSq`S_+|`|}3E|-|`7**2-3:)=~y+S|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a,
