The ODF::LpOD modules worked on .odf files but choked on .sxw (version 1.1) files.

Ken's suggestion about the similarity between those modules and the OpenOffice::OODoc modules helped me to go back to them and come up with this code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use OpenOffice::OODoc;

# setup file and styles
my $file = $ARGV[0];
die "You must supply an odf file name\n" unless $file;
print "File: $file\n";
my $container = odfContainer($file) or die "Can't get document $file\n
+";
my $doc       = odfDocument(container => $container, part => 'content'
+) or die "Can't get content in $file\n";

my ($i,$element,$text,$style);

for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
  $element = $doc->getElement('//text:p',$i);
  if ($element) {
    $text = $doc->getText($element);
    if ($text) {
      $style = $doc->getAttribute($element,'style name')||'';
      if ($style && ($style =~ m/^P\d+$/)) {
        $style = $doc->getAncestorStyle($style);
      }
      print "Paragraph $i: ";
      print "($style) " if $style;
      print "$text" if $text;
      print "\n";
    }
  }
}
