I don't think  /(?<!( e|\.g)|( i|\.e))\.\s/ does what I think you think it does. If you have Perl version 5.10+ regex extensions, try something like (untested): 

my ($exclude) =
  map  qr{ (?: \Q$_\E) (*SKIP) (*FAIL) }xms,
  join q{|},
  qw(e.g. i.e. Dr. Mr. Mrs. ... etc.)
  ;
my $delimiter = qr{ $exclude [.?!] \s }xms;

my ($exclude) =
  map qr{ (?: $_) (*SKIP) (*FAIL) }xms,
  join q{ | },
  map qq{\Q$_\E},
  reverse sort
  qw(e.g. i.e. Dr. Mr. Mrs. ... etc.)
  ;

my $delimiter = qr{ $exclude [.?!] \s }xms;

I have no idea how you could handle something like "H.G. Wells".

Update: I was a bit too quick with my post; see my update above. Also, I think I might see a way to exclude initialed names and similar things: 

my $name = qr{ [[:upper:]] [[:lower:]]+ }xms;
my $initialed_name = qr{ \b [[:upper:]] [.] (?= \s+ $name) }xms;

my ($exclude) =
  map qr{ (?: $_) (*SKIP) (*FAIL) }xms,
  join q{ | },
  $initialed_name,
  map qq{\Q$_\E},
  reverse sort
  qw(e.g. i.e. Dr. Mr. Mrs. ... etc.)
  ;

my $delimiter = qr{ $exclude [.?!] \s }xms;

Obviously, this is just a starting point toward a robust solution.

Update 2: It occurs to me that the above won't handle a name like P.D.Q. Bach, so maybe change  $initialed_name as follows (still untested): 

my $initial = qr{ \b [[:upper:]] [.] \s*      }xms;
my $name    = qr{ \b [[:upper:]] [[:lower:]]* }xms;
my $initialed_name = qr{ $initial+ (?= \s+ $name) }xms;
