Inside the [] the meta-character loose their meaning. Only ^ and - have
special meaning. You have to use | instead.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
while( <DATA> ){
chomp;
if( /abc(\&|$)/ ){
print "$_\n";
}
}
__DATA__
abc
def abc& foo bar

the dossier is not the person,
the model is not reality,
