If you have Word installed, you can utilize Win32::OLE to make Word convert it for you.
use strict; use Win32::OLE; use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Word'; use File::Spec; my ($input_html,$output_doc) = @ARGV; my $word = Win32::OLE->CreateObject('Word.Application'); $word->{'Visible'} = 0; my $file = $word->Documents->Open({ FileName => File::Spec->rel2abs($input_html), Format => wdOpenFormatWebPages, ConfirmConversions => 0, AddToRecentFiles => 0, Revert => 0, ReadOnly => 1, OpenAndRepair => 0, }) or die dump $word; # Save As $word->ActiveDocument->SaveAs({ FileName => File::Spec->rel2abs($output_doc), FileFormat => wdFormatDocument, }); # Quit/Close $file->Close({SaveChanges => wdDoNotSaveChanges}); $word->Quit( {SaveChanges => wdDoNotSaveChanges});
Of course Word's sense of HTML is somewhat limited, but mostly that works quite well.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
