Win32::OLE allows you to communicate directly with Word.
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const "Microsoft Word 12.0 Object Library";
use Win32::OLE::Const "Microsoft Office 12.0 Object Library";
my $word = Win32::OLE->new( 'Word.Application', 'Quit' )
or die "Can't create Word OLE: " . Win32::OLE->LastError . "\n";
$word->{'Visible'} = 1;
my $doc = $word->Documents->Add
or die "Can't create new Word document: " . Win32::OLE->LastError
+. "\n";
my $selection = $word->Selection; # select current position
$selection->{'Style'} = 'Title';
$selection->TypeText( 'Document title' );
$selection->TypeParagraph;
$selection->{'Style'} = 'Normal';
$selection->TypeText( 'Lorum ipsum' );
$selection->TypeParagraph;
$doc->SaveAs( 'foo.docx' );
$word->Quit;
The Visual Basic for Applications examples you'll be able to find in the MSDN library for Office can mostly be simply converted to Win32::OLE Perl code by changing . to -> and a := b to { a => b }.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
