As often, it's good to check The CPAN Search Site. See Win32::OLE _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo. G°\ / /\_¯/(q / ---------------------------- \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."· ");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}	[reply]

If you have some windows server sitting around, you could give a try to Docclient. If not, I don't know of any perl module that does that. (hmm... somebody working on a perl port of Jakarta POI out there?). But then, as UNIX is, I would grab mswordview and run the output through HTML::Parser or such. _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo. G°\ / /\_¯/(q / ---------------------------- \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."· ");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}	[reply]
