You can try something like:

"([(]+\d+[)]+)"

this will detect the following examples:
((1) or ((1)) or ((((23)))

This is how I manage parentesis.
Hope this help!

i18n::langtags::detect

I18N::LangTags::Detect(3pm)				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide			       I18N::LangTags::Detect(3pm)

NAME

       I18N::LangTags::Detect - detect the user's language preferences

SYNOPSIS

	 use I18N::LangTags::Detect;
	 my @user_wants = I18N::LangTags::Detect::detect();

DESCRIPTION

       It is a common problem to want to detect what language(s) the user would prefer output in.

FUNCTIONS

       This module defines one public function, "I18N::LangTags::Detect::detect()".  This function is not exported (nor is even exportable), and
       it takes no parameters.

       In scalar context, the function returns the most preferred language tag (or undef if no preference was seen).

       In list context (which is usually what you want), the function returns a (possibly empty) list of language tags representing (best first)
       what languages the user apparently would accept output in.  You will probably want to pass the output of this through
       "I18N::LangTags::implicate_supers_tightly(...)"	or "I18N::LangTags::implicate_supers(...)", like so:

	 my @languages =
	   I18N::LangTags::implicate_supers_tightly(
	     I18N::LangTags::Detect::detect()
	   );

ENVIRONMENT

       This module looks for several environment variables, including REQUEST_METHOD, HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE, LANGUAGE, LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES, and
       LANG.

       It will also use the Win32::Locale module, if it's installed.

SEE ALSO

       I18N::LangTags, Win32::Locale, Locale::Maketext.

       (This module's core code started out as a routine in Locale::Maketext; but I moved it here once I realized it was more generally useful.)
