What platform, PC or Mac?

I only have experience with Quark on Mac... It is very well scriptable, using Applescript. You can ask Quark to open the document and provide you with a listing of all items it contains. Save whatever you find out as a text file... and let Perl process these text files.

Perhaps you can even use one of MacPerl's AppleEvents modules to bypass Applescript... but that's new ground for me, so I'm not venturing in that direction any further at this moment.

That's if you're on a Mac... If you're on PC, you'll likely be able to do similar things with VB, or perhaps even with Perl+OLE. Again, I have no experience in that direction. So I'll shut up now.

Well... HTH.
