    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. 

    _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
