I am having problems matching ALL possible matches of a string against
another (very large) string.  I am doing something like:  @LargeArray =
($HugeString =~ m/$Head......../ig);  Where $Head is an 8 character
string.  (Basically I want to get all 16 character long substrings out of
$HugeString where the first 8 characters match $Head.)

My problem comes about when (for example) I want to match a 16 character
string that starts with AAAAAAAA.  Suppose $HugeString=AAAAAAAAAASDFGHJKL
and $Head=AAAAAAAA  I want @LargeArray[0]=AAAAAAAAAASDFGHJ,
@LargeArray[1]=AAAAAAAAASDFGHJK, and @LargeArray[2]=AAAAAAAASDFGHJKL

Right now I would only get @LargeArray[0]=AAAAAAAAAASDFGHJ

What am I doing wrong?  How do I get all matches?
