Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello, I read all the documentation about Win32::OLE, but I could not find any mention of this feature. I am able to open and parse a Word document with Win32::OLE, however I would do this in a dynamic way, i.e. I want to get the user input WHILE the user is inserting it (be it by keystrokes or voice recognition or whatever). I want to parse this 'live' content in Perl to produce statistics on the run. The only idea I've got so far is to force saving the file any x seconds with Win32::OLE and parse it. However, continually saving the file (let's say every 1 second) may stop Word working properly. Anyone a better idea (or anyone knows if Win32::OLE can accomplish it?)
