      If you have some windows server sitting around, you could give a try to Docclient.

      If not, I don't know of any perl module that does that. (hmm... somebody working on a perl port of Jakarta POI out there?).

      But then, as UNIX is, I would grab mswordview and run the output through HTML::Parser or such.
