This is a perl script, originally posted on debian-devel by Philippe
Troin. It does work for me.
Note: You should get one and only one replacement, otherwise it
indicates something's gone wrong.
--- begin script ---
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# Open file
open IN, "$ARGV[0]" or die "can't find $ARGV[0]: $!";
# Read it in one slurp
select IN;
undef $/;
select STDOUT;
$file=<IN>;
close IN;
# Remove this string
$count=$file=~s!/usr/X11R6/lib\0!\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0!g;
print "Replaced: $count occurences in $ARGV[0]\n";
# Write the file
open OUT, ">$ARGV[0].out" or die "can't write $ARGV[0].out: $!";
print OUT $file;
close OUT;
--- end script ---
