in thread Microsoft Word and Perl scripting

Yes, and I've written ASP with Perl. But how do I put such a program inside the Word document, like the supplied BASIC can do?

    Check the ActiveState Perl docs, and maybe do some research on the <acronym title="Microsoft Developer Network">MSDN</acronym> web site at http://msdn.microsoft.com/. Windows allows scripting engines to be plugged in, so one can use VBScript or JScript (Microsoft's JavaScript) in various applications. You should be able to do the same with Perl.

    Caveat: I've never done this, so I can't explain how to do it. But I believe it should be possible.
