[MacPerl] match skipping problem



I'm having a problem that if I do a match on the same pattern in a row it
will not match on every other one. This is my test code.

$line = "this is a test of a weird problem";

print "A\n";
if ($line =~ m/test/g) {
   print "I'm here A\n";
}
print "B\n";
if ($line =~ m/test/g) {
   print "I'm here B\n";
}
print "C\n";
if ($line =~ m/test/g) {
   print "I'm here C\n";
}
print "D\n";
if ($line =~ m/test/g) {
   print "I'm here D\n";
}
print "E\n";
if ($line =~ m/test/g) {
   print "I'm here E\n";
}
print "F\n";
if ($line =~ m/test/g) {
   print "I'm here F\n";
}
print "G\n";
if ($line =~ m/test/g) {
   print "I'm here G\n";
}
print "H\n";
if ($line =~ m/test/g) {
   print "I'm here H\n";
}

The output I get is:
A
I'm here A
B
C
I'm here C
D
E
I'm here E
F
G
I'm here G
H

The output should be:
A
I'm here A
B
I'm here B
C
I'm here C
D
I'm here D
E
I'm here E
F
I'm here F
G
I'm here G
H
I'm here H

thanks,
