If I understood your question, this ll finish your job. But I think this is not efficient way, this can be still done with simple logic.

use strict;
use warnings;
   
while (<DATA>) {        
        chomp;
        my $dic = $_;               
        my (@arr) = $dic =~ /([abort])/g;   #get the matching letters 
+    
        my %unique;
        my $str = join "", grep (!$unique{$_}++, @arr);   #make the gr
+epped letters unique     
        print $dic, "\n" if ($str eq 'abort');  #print if the order is
+ a, b, o, r, t
    };

prints:
-------
abort
abortion

__DATA__
abroad
abort
abortion
boat
boaring
boart

As imp said, when i tested your code it works fine for me as well.
