Dear perl monks, I need to extract a list of c void functions/API documentation from a word document to a text file (.cpp files).
I use activeperl 5.10 in windows xp. Here's the code (Heavily borrowed from here ): 
use warnings;
use strict;
use Win32::OLE qw(in with);
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Word';

my $MYDOC = "C:\\Document and Settings\\mhd\\My Documents";
my $DOCFILE = "$MYDOC\\work\\apifunc.doc";

#open STDERR, ">errlog.txt";
my $document = Win32::OLE->GetObject($DOCFILE) or die("Unable to open 
+document ", Win32::OLE->LastError());
#close STDERR;

open FH,">functionList.cpp";

my $pat='\d{1,2}\.(\s)+(V|v)oid';
my $paragraphs = $document->Paragraphs();
my $par;
my $enumerate = new Win32::OLE::Enum($paragraphs);
while(defined($par = $enumerate->Next())){
    if($par =~ m|$pat| ){
        print FH;
    
    }
}

close (FH) or die "can't close :$! \n";

the error: 
Unable to open document Win32::OLE(0.1709) error 0x800401ea: "Moniker 
+cannot open file"
    after character 0 in "C:\Document and Settings\mhd\My
Documents\work\apifunc.doc" at extractfunctionName.pl line 13.

What's wrong? I have no idea how to fix it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
