Your regex works for me:
$ cat foo ironia/ironia/S-FS (/(/PU lo/lo/PQMS soprannomineranno/soprannomina +re/V-P3IF "/"/PU Pique/pique/SP la/lo/RDFS lune/luna/S-FP "/"/PU + a/a/E causa/causa/S-FS della/di/E-FS forma/forma/S-FS del/di/E- +MS suo/suo/A-MS naso/naso/S-MS $ cat foo | perl -pe "s/-\w{2,}//; " ironia/ironia/S (/(/PU lo/lo/PQMS soprannomineranno/soprannominare/ +V-P3IF "/"/PU Pique/pique/SP la/lo/RDFS lune/luna/S-FP "/"/PU a +/a/E causa/causa/S-FS della/di/E-FS forma/forma/S-FS del/di/E-MS + suo/suo/A-MS naso/naso/S-MS

If you want to modify the file in-place, take a look at the -i switch

Update: I didn't notice that you want to delete all occurrences. ikegami++
