Splitting a line with pattern in Sed - Unix

I have a file with single line, that line contains just like the following sample
Code:
00200100293^30^1^bla bla ...._______To:	zabell00200100293^30^3^aSub00200100293^30^4^ellaCc:	Sanders,De on my desk__________00200100293^30^4^___________________________________00A00ABC0293^30^1^something___To:	some text00A00ABC0293^30^3^aSub00A00ABC0293^30^4^ellaCc:	__________00A00ABC0293^30^4^___________________________________

I want to spilt up in to multiple line based on 00200100293^, 00A00ABC0293^ and etc...

00200100293^,00A00ABC0293^ - These numbers could be any thing but alpha-numeric the length is always fixed 11 digits followed by '^'. Basically the output should like the following.
Code:
00200100293^30^1^bla bla ...._______To:	zabell
00200100293^30^3^aSub
00200100293^30^4^ellaCc:	Sanders,De on my desk__________
00200100293^30^4^___________________________________
00A00ABC0293^30^1^something___To:	some text
00A00ABC0293^30^3^aSub
00A00ABC0293^30^4^ellaCc:	__________
00A00ABC0293^30^4^___________________________________

I am trying this one

Code:
cat inputfile |sed "s/^.\{11\}^/~/^.\{11\}^/g" |tr -s "~" '\n' >output

but it does not give me anything which I wanted, Can any one know how to resolve this. Much appreciated

Thanks

Locale::Codes::LangFam(3pm)				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide			       Locale::Codes::LangFam(3pm)

NAME
Locale::Codes::LangFam - standard codes for language extension identification SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::LangFam; $lext = code2langfam('apa'); # $lext gets 'Apache languages' $code = langfam2code('Apache languages'); # $code gets 'apa' @codes = all_langfam_codes(); @names = all_langfam_names(); DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::LangFam" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language families, such as those as defined in ISO 639-5. Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639-5 language family codes will be used. SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language families. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant that is automatically exported by this module. For example, the two are equivalent: $lext = code2langfam('apa','alpha'); $lext = code2langfam('apa',LOCALE_LANGFAM_ALPHA); The codesets currently supported are: alpha This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-5 such as 'apa' for Apache languages. This is the default code set. ROUTINES
