As I understand it, the matching problem you're posing is to detect a pattern with duplicates like .abc(abc_p) and then make multiple changes to the duplicated alphabetic substrings, so that the string above becomes the two strings .abc_1(abc_p_1) and .abc_2(abc_p_2). The abc and abc_p substrings may occur in any order, as may the dotted and parenthetic fields.

I would approach the problem in two steps: detect duplication; transform all duplicated substrings.

From previous postings, I think the elements the detection regex might be
    my $rx_pre_dup = qr{ [.(] }xms;
and
    my $rx_str = qr{ \b (?: abc_p | abc) \b }xms;
which can be combined into the regex
    my $rx_dup_str = qr{ $rx_pre_dup $rx_str }xms;

Then a match for duplicates might look like
    m{ $rx_dup_str .*? $rx_dup_str }xms
and one can exercise this with

for my $string (
    '.abc',  '.abc(pqr)',  '.abcfoo(abc)',
    '.abc.abc',  '.abc(abc_p)',  '.abc_p.abc',  '.abc_p.abc(abc_p)',
    '.abc_p (abc_p)',
    ) {
    my $got_dups = $string =~ m{ $rx_dup_str .*? $rx_dup_str }xms;
    printf "'$string' has %sdups \n", $got_dups ? '' : 'NO ';
    }

'.abc' has NO dups
'.abc(pqr)' has NO dups
'.abcfoo(abc)' has NO dups
'.abc.abc' has dups
'.abc(abc_p)' has dups
'.abc_p.abc' has dups
'.abc_p.abc(abc_p)' has dups
'.abc_p (abc_p)' has dups

Some questions:

Once you know that a string has dups, you can find all $rx_dup_str matches and make substitutions as needed. The int abc; transformations should be fairly easy, and I think you already have those in hand.
