While significantly faster than the OP's, I believe it suffers from some of the same scalability issues. That's one thing I hate about regular expressions: determining the complexity of an algorithm built on them tends to be very difficult.
Anyway, that also suffers from another problem. Try it with
my @a = ('a' . 'X' x 32768, 'a' . 'O' x 32768);
and you'll get an error:
Quantifier in {,} bigger than 32766 in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/
+(.{ <-- HERE 32767}).*\0.*\1/

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
