Hi John, This is fairly trivial (god I've been dying to feel that way about something in Perl) for GD.pm.
The only problem is you may have to convert your gifs to png, because gif support in the module got yanked out a few years ago. I've used the module to change image copyright notices by blanking out old dates and adding new ones (don't panic, my own images). Once your graphics are in png, working with them using png is a snap. I've even used it to reshade the various shades of grey used in font image gradients when copy the image from a white background to a dark blue. Basically you can either do a fill if the geometry permits, or if not, run a pixel by pixel doulbe loop through the image and change the pixel whenever you discover the color to be replaced. GD is the only module I truly love. You can see the button example here: http://www.joyo96.org/cgi-bin/henshall.pl?hen=3 The original images are similar to these: http://www.joyo96.org/cgi-bin/xref.pl (THe images I'm referring to are the little kanji characters.) Let me know if I can add anything else...
