    Hi roshmont,

    I have written a short example to get you started: 
    #!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::OLE;

my $word = Win32::OLE->new('Word.Application') or die $!;
$word->{'Visible'} = 1;
my $document = $word->Documents->Add;
my $selection = $word->Selection;
$selection->TypeText("Click here");
my $range = $word->ActiveDocument->Content; 
$document->Hyperlinks->Add({
                            Anchor => $range,
                            Address => "http://www.perlmonks.org"
                            });

    Hope this helps.

      Martin, Thanks so much. Would you know how to define the range for the Hyperlink such that I can insert the Hyperlink at the current selection position.i.e after I have finished writing some text to the document?
