Here is my (untested) take on what the perl equivalent is: 
use Win32::OLE qw(in valof with OVERLOAD);
 Win32::OLE->Option(_NewEnum => 1);


for my $oPara (in $Word->ActiveDocument->Paragraphs)
{
   my $oRange = $oPara->Range; 
   next unless $oRange->Information(wdWithInTable) ;
   $oRange = $oRange->Next;
   next if $oRange->Information(wdWithInTable) ;
   $oRange->Delete() if $oRange->Text eq vbCr;
}

Update 1: Showing the "in <object>" syntax - this is what you seem to be struggling with.
