Problem: have a set of ODT files (tech transfer contracts) that I need to update, but not just now, because they contain a stale proprietary notice that needs to be changed. Perhaps I will never update them all, but only a few. So I prefer to put a notice in each of them to say "hey, you haven't updated notice X yet". They are hundreds in tens of folders and subfolders.

Solution: Luckily they are ODF files, ODF is a zipped XML, a PERL module exists to do incredible tricks.

I have then made this basic script, just tweaking the example provided:

We have prepared a package of amendments that should be tabled at the European Parliament.

The amendments are listed here below. They can also be found (at an earlier stage with some few typos) here: Part I, Part II and Part III. More info at http://www.iptegrity.com.
