Hi Tony1, try like this

use strict;
use warnings;

my $str = 'mASVKSSSSSSSSSFISLLLLILLVIVLQSQVIECQPQQSCTASLTGLNVCAPFLVPGS
+PTASTECCNAVQSINHDCMCNTMRIAAQIPAQCNLPPLSCSANSSS';
$str =~ s/(.{10})/$1 /g;
$str =~ s/(S{3,})/<font color=red>$1<\/font>/g;
$str =~ s/<\/font> <font color=red>/ /g;

print $str;
__END__
Output is:
----------
