Perl REGEX

Hi,
Can anyone help me to find regular expression for the following in Perl?
"The string can only contain lower case letters (a-z) and no more than one of any letter."
For example: "table" is accepted, whether "dude" is not.
I have coded like this:

$str = "table";
if ($str =~ m/\b([a-z])[^\1]\b/) {
...
}

But it does not work Image. Any helps would be appreciated. Thanks.

Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitStringySUser(Contributed Perl DocumPerl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitStringySplit(3)

NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitStringySplit - Write "split /-/, $string" instead of "split '-', $string". AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution. DESCRIPTION
The "split" function always interprets the PATTERN argument as a regular expression, even if you specify it as a string. This causes much confusion if the string contains regex metacharacters. So for clarity, always express the PATTERN argument as a regex. $string = 'Fred|Barney'; @names = split '|', $string; #not ok, is ('F', 'r', 'e', 'd', '|', 'B', 'a' ...) @names = split m/[|]/, $string; #ok, is ('Fred', Barney') When the PATTERN is a single space the "split" function has special behavior, so Perl::Critic forgives that usage. See "perldoc -f split" for more information. CONFIGURATION
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options. SEE ALSO
