Okay here it is - Programming in Win32 is one thing. But using Word as a programming tool??? I suggest you try Xemacs which runs on Windows and is a great editor you can get it free from here I think you will find that it is a powerful tool and lends itself well to Perl programming. There is also something called Perl Builder that you can get here although you would have to keep downloading the demo every 30 days cause it is not free. Happy coding!
