Hi, ashok

This is how you can use the MSWord SynonymInfo method from perl using Win32::OLE. Need I say that it is not portable, so you'll have to find another way to do it on *nix boxes :)
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

# Uses
use strict;
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const;

# Create MSWord object and load constants
my $MSWord = Win32::OLE->new('Word.Application', 'Quit') or 
    die "Could not load MS Word\n";
my $wd=Win32::OLE::Const->Load($MSWord);

# Word and language to search for
my $word="big";
my $language=$wd->{wdEnglishUS};

# Get antonyms from MSWord
my $antonyms=$MSWord->SynonymInfo(
    {Word => $word, LanguageID => $language})->AntonymList;

# Print them out...
foreach (@{ $antonyms }) { print $_."\n" };

Anoter way might be to use LWP and search an online dictionary (like Lexical FreeNet) and parse the returned page. The url to get the antonyms for "big" on lexfn is http://www.lexfn.com/l/lexfn-cuff.cgi?sWord=big&tWord=&query=show&maxReach=2&Aant=on
