Hi Monks, I am trying to extract the some information from the group of docx file. So I first convert the docx to text file using Win32::OLE. The problem is when I have to run the program Second time, I have to close the "Winword.exe" manually from taskmanager. I suspect its clearly because we are not closing the Word Application in script properly. Below is the code snippet, any help on to close the Word application would be greatful. 
open(OUTFILE2,">Author_name_extract.txt") or die("Cant open Output fil
+e\n");


@filesnames = glob '*.docx';

foreach $count (@filesnames)  #Loop till the end is reached
{
    $filename = "D:\\MRJ_BCU\\Perl\\From thejaswini\\doc_read\\$count"
+;
    $document = Win32::OLE -> GetObject($filename);
    my $app = $document->{Application};
    open(OUTFILE1,">File_under_Review.txt") or die("Cant open Output f
+ile\n");

    print "Extracting Text from $filename...\n";

    $paragraphs = $document->Paragraphs();
    $enumerate = new Win32::OLE::Enum($paragraphs);
    while(defined($paragraph = $enumerate->Next()))
    {
        $a = $paragraph->{Range}->{Text};
        print OUTFILE1 "$a\n";
    }

    close(OUTFILE1);

    $#document->Close();
