The meta data doesn't show the title which is a paragraph with the style of 'Title' or Psomething.

I installed ODF::lpOD once I figured out that lpOD starts with lower case L. It's documentation is voluminous and not much better than OpenOffice::OODoc's.

However I did get it to work!

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use ODF::lpOD;

my $file = $ARGV[0];
die "You must supply an odf file name\n" unless $file;
my $doc = odf_document->get($file) or die "Can't load $file\n$!\n";
my $context = $doc->body;
my $meta = $doc->meta;

# Doesn't do what I wanted
my $title = $meta->get_title;
print "Title: $title\n" if $title;  # shows Title: c if at all
my $p = $context->get_paragraph(style=>'Title', content=>'ODF',positio
+n=>0);
if ($p) {print $p->get_text()."\n";}
else {print "Not found\n";}  # prints Not found

#this works
my ($i,$ps,$style,$pStyle);
for ($i = 0; $i < 6; $i++) {
  $p = $context->get_paragraph(position=>$i);
  if ($p) {
    print "Paragraph $i";
    $ps = $p->get_style();
    if ($ps) {
      if ($ps =~ m/^P\d+$/) {   # Check for internal styles
        $style = $doc->get_style('paragraph',$ps) || '';
        $pStyle = $style->get_parent_style if $style;
        $ps = $pStyle if $pStyle; # This gets the real name
      }
      print " Style: $ps\n";
    }
    else {print "No Style\n";}
    my $data = $p->get_text(recursive=>1);
    if ($data) {print "$data\n";}
    else {print "--No data\n";}
  } else {
    print "Paragraph $i not found\n";
  }
}
