Oops, I misread, Lance's perl does do the hex math, I was reading the
wrong source.

To avoid any instances of FF -> 100, I just did this:

perl -pe
's/((..:){5})(..)$/"$1$3\t$1".sprintf("%02X",(hex($3)+1)&255)/e;' 

(basically the same as the last time, except I do a bitwise AND of 255
to only use the "important" lines.
