help with substitution

Hi everyone, thanks for the help last time!
if I have two strings
$word="cows";
and another given string:
$givenword="XXX-"; #with the same length as $word !!!
what I want to do is transform "XXX_" --> "cow-"
I have tried but cant figure out going characterwise, all I get in the
end is like this:
$givenword="cowscowscows-"
thanks in advanced!
Erik
