In Perl length is cheap so calculate it when you need it. The following code is a little more Perlish but, other than using a threshold to drop out short strings, is similar to your code. For varieties sake the regex has changed slightly to be a little easier to grok:
use strict;
use warnings;
my $string = "AAATTTAGTTCTTAAGGCTGACATCGGTTTACGTCAGCGTTACCCCCCAAGTTATT
+GGGGACTTT";
my @runs;
my $threshold = 3;
length $1 >= $threshold && (push @runs, $1) while $string =~ /(A+|C+|G
++|T+)/g;
@runs = sort {length($b) <=> length($a)} @runs;
printf "@runs\n";
Prints:
CCCCCC GGGG AAA TTT TTT TTT

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).
