Any perl module or perl code to convert RTF docs/ MS word Docs to html under unix

august3 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all,

We have a system where couple of unix users create MS-word documents under unix using citirx client and windows terminal service. I am required to post these doc files to a website. I am looking for an easy solution. Is there a perl module or code to handle this situation. Like convert MS-word doc files or RTF files to html using perl or any macro under unix. Thanks in advance for all suggestions.
Augustine

There is a module RTF::HTML::Converter that can convert RTF docs to HTML: `use strict; use RTF::HTML::Converter; my $object = RTF::HTML::Converter->new( output => \STDOUT); $object->parse_stream( \RTF_FILE );` [download] -Mark	[reply] [d/l]

I haven't used it but there is RTF::HTMLConverter if the files are in RTF. If they're in MS Word Format you might look at Re: (Get text of Word Document)going through a Win32 MSWORD doc which shows how to get text from docs (which could then be turned into HTML) "Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum - I think that I think, therefore I think that I am."
