I'm trying to help out another developer with a mini-Perl script. 
He has a file that contains one very long line, about 28M in size. 
He needs to do a replacement of all occurances of

    |^NEWLINE^|^

to a literal newline (HPUX, 0x0a or "\n").

When I ran this 

   $ perl -ne 's/|^NEWLINE^|^/\n/g;print' loadFile

it choked and gave me

Out of memory during "large" request for 1073745920 bytes, total
sbrk() is 604078796 bytes at -e line 1, <> line 1.

Any suggestions would be extremely helpful.


Thanks

Jeff
