You want to use a backreference for the "twice" part. I punted on the "not in the set" part, and used an alternation for that. So my regex is really two parts :

  /([$set]).*\1/ # Look if there is any repetition
  or 
  /[^$set]/      # Look if there is any unallowed character

# Which combines to

  /([$set]).*\1|[^$set]/

. Here's my test code :

my $set = "ABCDEF";
for (<DATA>) {
  chomp;
  print "$_ vs. $set : ", $_ =~ m!([$set]).*\1|[^$set]! ? "Yes" : "No"
+, "\n";
};
__DATA__
A
B
C
ACX
ABC
AA
BB
