I wasn't sure if those single quotes were part of the field or
just delimiters.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
$_ = "modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-10-134";
s/'/''/g;
print;
# OR
$_ = "'modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-10-134'";
s/(\w)'(\w)/$1''$2/g; # There is probably a more

print;
