Are you sure that's what you want? You know your problem-space, so I'm just checking. There are three issues I see:
- Fasta doesn't have to be 80 characters per-line
- Fasta doesn't have to be ctrl-M delimited
- Are you sure you don't want to check strand identity (e.g. look for poly-T sequences)?
Either way, the simple answer is to parse the file using SeqIO (BioPerl). Extract the sequence, then run a reg-ex to look for what you want. In your case it's $seq =~ /[AN]{10,}/ I think.

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).
