fellow monks

I'm running into a problem issuing split invoking a regex. forgive me for the following bad regex, it's just something quick and dirty:

@lines = split(/(\d\d:\d\d:\d\d[a-zA-Z].*?[A-Z][A-Z][A-Z][A-Z]+)/,$dat
+a);

this is working fine for $data like

00:01:00Something here bla bla blaTYPE00:02:00Something here bla bla blaANOTHERTYPE00:03:00Something here bla bla blaEVENMORETYPES

however, it (obviously) doesn't work for something like

00:01:00Something here bla bla blaType00:02:00Something here bla bla b
+laTypetoooo00:03:00Something here bla bla blaTYPETHREE

I'm trying to build up a regex that lets split split at the digits of the next 'entry'. The outcome I need is 
0 => 00:01:00Something here bla bla blaType
1 => 00:02:00Something here bla blablaTypetoooo
2 => 00:03:00Something here bla bla blaTYPETHREE

any help on this higly appreciated
