I was literally in the middle of mailing Devrim about packaging postgis25 for
centos6 :)

Looks like that's a perl 5.14 feature:
https://www.perl.com/pub/2011/05/new-features-of-perl-514-non-destructive-substitution.html/

And centos6 has:
$ perl --version
This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi

I think you could just write:
my $pg12_def = $def;
$pg12def =~ s/CREATE AGGREGATE/CREATE OR REPLACE AGGREGATE/r;
