Copying file is certainly not a meaningful topic for your post. You do not simply want to copy the file, you want to convert PDF to Word format.

Anyway, searching for PDF on CPAN turns up the PDF module which contains PDF::Core and PDF::Parse. These appear to be something you want. Whether they are complete I don't know. You will have to try it out.

As for writing a Word file, the Win32::OLE module that comes standard with Activeperl can create a Word document and put stuff in it.

The whole process is likely to be a medium size job, not just a matter of applying one simple function or copying a file.
