Hello everyone. I need to parse a rather large text file, and I've managed to write a regex to match exactly the thing i want. However, sometimes, with files that contain a lot of information, I get segmentation fault during the regex match. Here is the part of the code that does the matching, and prints the match out. Please note that i frequently need to match a string that spans across more than 32k lines of text, and when i do i get segmentation fault. Can anyone propose a solution to this problem? Thank you very much in advance. 
while ($dna=~ m/(^\w{2}\s\(\d+\)\sLocus:(\s\d+)+)/mg) {
print "\n", $1, "\n";}
