You need to use the Range.Words Property to scan the words in the $paragraph->{Range}.

Something like this (Untested, uncompiled): 

for my $w ($paragraph->{Range}->Words()){
   next unless $w->Text() =~/perl/i;
   $w->Font->{Bold} = 1;
}

    @NetWallah, thanks for the guidance. But perl throws me an error suggesting that $w->Text returns an uninitialized value. I've used the following lines of code to check for the keys of the $w hashref: 
    my @keys = keys %{$w};
print @keys,"\n";

    And I get the following hash keys: Count First Last Application Creator Parent

    It seems I can only use something like $w->First->Text. But I'm stuck there :(
