Yes. The Win32::OLE module allows you to manipulate Word using the COM interface that it exposes. In other words, you'll need to understand the Word object model, and a little bit of COM in general. If you've written VBA macros for Word (or Excel or ....) you've gotten the flavor.

There are some good resources here in the monastery. cacharbe has written a very good tutorial on using the Win32::OLE interface to Excel, which can help to get you started. You can also look up more resources and tutorials on Dave Roth's web site.

Here is a simple solution that inserts the entire body of one document at the end of another document. It assumes that you want to manipulate the two documents' files on disk. If what you wanted to do was (for example) insert the contents of the current selection into another open document, that would be slightly more involved. In general, none of this kind of stuff is too complicated; but finding good references and examples can be kinda tough. In addition to the docs for the Win32::OLE modules, I found the Microsoft documentation for the Word object model to be indispensable.

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

    my $source_doc = "X:\\source.doc";
    my $dest_doc   = "X:\\dest.doc";

    my $Word = new Win32::OLE 'Word.Application', 'Quit';

    $Word->Documents->open( $source_doc )
      or die "Unable to open $source_doc ", Win32::OLE->LastError();
    my $text = $Word->ActiveDocument->Content->Text;
    $Word->ActiveDocument->Close;

    $Word->Documents->open( $dest_doc )
      or die "Unable to open $dest_doc ", Win32::OLE->LastError();
    $Word->ActiveDocument->Content->InsertAfter({ Text => $text });
    $Word->ActiveDocument->Close;

I looked on CPAN -- and found just one reference: lhalw. This may not be the best place to look for this kind of software.
