On determining that $word is undefined you should print the value of Win32::OLE->LastError() - something like:
if (! $word )
{
die Win32::OLE->LastError(),"\n";
}
However from the warning that you are getting it does look like that all or part of the Word COM server is not registered. You can check this using the OLE Browser that comes with the Activestate Perl (or the one that comes with the Microsoft SDK if you have that,) or at a push you can compare the registry entries from a machine where this is working using regedit (i.e. search for Word.Application ). Probably the best way to repair this would be to re-install word, but you could re-register the COM server using regsrvr32 (i.e. something like regsrvr32 /i winword.exe but I don't have a windows machine to test it at the moment.)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
