I am trying to use the following code to grab the number of pages from a word document. I get the following error:
Unable to open property Win32::OLE(0.1501) error 0x80020011: "Does not
+ support a collection"
in METHOD/PROPERTYGET "" at pdf_testing.pl line 31.

in the MS doc I found that I should be able to use
object.Information(wdNumberOfPagesInDocument)
I translated as below and several other permutations for Perl. If anyone can help me on this, I would appreciate it. 
use strict;
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Word';
my $wd = Win32::OLE::Const->Load("Microsoft Word 10.0 Object Library")
+;
my ($pages,$doc);
my $Word = Win32::OLE->new('Word.Application', 'Quit');
# $Word->{'Visible'} = 1;         # if you want to see what's going on
my $doc = $Word->Documents->Open("P:\\My DOCUMENTS\\test.doc")
    || die("Unable to open document ", Win32::OLE->LastError());
$pages = $doc->Information($$wd{'wdNumberOfPagesInDocument'}) || die("
+Unable to open property ", Win32::OLE->LastError());
print "The number of pages in test.doc are: $pages";
exit;
