Example use:

find images -type f -iname '*.png' -exec perl ~/Downloads/acropalypse-check.pl {} + | tee -a acropalypse.list

This will scan all files with .png or .PNG extensions in the images directory and append the paths of suspect files to a text file called acropalypse.list. These can then be fixed by running them through a PNG repair tool, like optipng -fix:

xargs -d '\n' -a acropalypse.list optipng -fix

NOTE: This example will not correctly handle filenames that contain a newline (\n) character. You could change \n to \0 in the Perl code (line 27) and change -d '\n' to -0 in the xargs call if you need it to handle such filenames.
