Hi monks i have written a script to extract a line after a particular id from a .doc document...The problem is the script works for only .txt files but not for .doc files ..

use Win32::OLE; 
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Word'; 

use strict;
use warnings;

my $in_file = 'D:\kk check perl\check.doc';
open my $in_fh, '<', $in_file or die "Could not open file $in_file: $!
+";
my $out_file = 'output.xls';
open my $out_fh, '>', $out_file or die "Could not open file $out_file:
+$!";
my $print_next = 0;
while ( my $line = <$in_fh> )
{
  if ($print_next){
     print $out_fh $line;  #No need to chomp - we print the "\n"
  }
  $print_next =  ($line =~ /^Derived\sRequirement : \sYes/);
}
close $in_fh or die "Could not close file $in_file: $!";
close $out_fh or die "Could not close file $out_file: $!";

How the script should be modified to work for .doc files?

Thank u monks
