this does not work:
/[a-zA-Z]+/
because it means one or more of the characters inside the square brackets, any of the characters, in any order. You want to find two of the same character repeated in a string, not one or more of any character inside the [] brackets.

Can anyone help me to find regular expression for the following in Perl?

Perl::Critic::Policy::RegularExpressions::RequireBracesFUserlContributed PerPerl::Critic::Policy::RegularExpressions::RequireBracesForMultiline(3)
NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::RegularExpressions::RequireBracesForMultiline - Use "{" and "}" to delimit multi-line regexps.
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
Long regular expressions are hard to read. A good practice is to use the "x" modifier and break the regex into multiple lines with
comments explaining the parts. But, with the usual "//" delimiters, the beginning and end can be hard to match, especially in a "s///"
regexp. Instead, try using "{}" characters to delimit your expressions.
Compare these:
s/
<a s+ href="([^"]+)">
(.*?)
</a>
/link=$1, text=$2/xms;
vs.
s{
<a s+ href="([^"]+)">
(.*?)
</a>
}
{link=$1, text=$2}xms;
Is that an improvement? Marginally, but yes. The curly braces lead the eye better.
CONFIGURATION
There is one option for this policy, "allow_all_brackets". If this is true, then, in addition to allowing "{}", the other matched pairs of
"()", "[]", and "<>" are allowed.
CREDITS
Initial development of this policy was supported by a grant from the Perl Foundation.
