Re^2: Finding / Replacing repetetive characters from a string in a Regular expression.

The difference is that your expression will match two (or more) different characters, while the OP wants to match two (or more) of the same. This should do it.

my @numbers = $aKnosId =~ /(([a-z])\2+)/g;

Except that both captures get returned. So to fix:

my @numbers = grep {length > 1} $aKnosId =~ /(([a-z])\2+)/g;
[download]
