Is it possible to test for multiple occurrances of a word/symbol?

-----Response-----
Sure, to a point.  You can even assign nonlinear scoring, which is probably
usually appropriate.

RULE_NAME               Score           Test
EXAMPLE_XYZ1    0.1             $Subject =~ /\bxyz\b/i
EXAMPLE_XYZ2    0.05            $Subject =~ /(\bxyz\b.*){2}/i
EXAMPLE_XYZ3    0.03            $Subject =~ /(\bxyz\b.*){3}/i

This ruleset would score as follows:
123 xyz 456 abc: 0.1 
123 xyz xyz abc: 0.15
123 xyz xyz xyz: 0.18
xyz xyz xyz xyz: 0.18 (the max)

For your scoring, set all the rules to 0.1 points each and add an
EXAMPLE_XYZ4 rule
