in reply to Text::ParseWords regex doesn't work when text is too long?

Indeed - happens for me too - that Text::ParseWords regex doesn't like strings longer than 32,768 - core dumps on a RedHat box (Perl 5.8) and just plain fails on a Windows ActiveState 5.8 build.

:( Ben.

PS - I notice search.cpan.org has Text::ParseWords 3.1, while my builds have 3.21 ...has it been 'rolled back'? or just in the CORE...doh!

Update or just listen to da PodMasta
