If by .doc file you mean a Microsoft Word document, the data is stored in a very complex manner. (Look at the data file using a binary editor and take a look!) If so, you'll have better luck using the Win32::OLE module if you're on a Windows box.

If you're on a unix box and the file is in the XML version of a doc file (.docx), then an XML parser and some slogging through the Microsoft Word object model documentation would be the way to go.
