I'm trying to match two kind of lines with one regular expression: 
00:04:23:a5:ce:6d > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype IPv6 (0x86dd), length
+ 66: (hlim 255, next-header: UDP (17), length: 12) ::.61701 > ff02::1
+:2:.547: [udp sum ok] dhcp solicit (xid=493907)

[download]
and 
00:04:23:a5:ce:6d > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype IPv6 (0x86dd), length
+ 66: ::.61701 > ff02::1:2:.547: [udp sum ok] dhcp solicit (xid=493907
+) (len12, hlim 255)

[download]
The only difference between the two is that the len and hlim differ in place.
I'm using this regexpression:
$line=~/^(\S+) > (\S+), \S+ IPv6 \S+ \S+ \S+ .* \S+ > \S+\.547: .* dhc
+p6 solicit \(xid=(\d+)/

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with it? Thanks!
