Complete code:

	use Win32::OLE;
	use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Word';

	my $folderpath=$ARGV[0];

	my $Word = Win32::OLE->new('Word.Application');
	$Word->{'Visible'} = 0;
	$Word->{DisplayAlerts} = 0;
	my $doc = $Word->Documents->Open("$folderpath\\Chapter 1.doc");
	$Word->ActiveDocument->SaveAs({FileName=>"$folderpath\\Chapter
1.txt", FileFormat=>wdFormatTextLineBreaks});
	$Word->{ActiveDocument}->Close;
	$doc->Close;
	$Word->Close;

By manual (In word application) output coming with breaks in each line like:

    Writing, of whatever type, can be a draining and dreaded task.   But it
can also be a passion, 
an adventure, and even a compulsion that occasionally brings great
satisfaction as a payoff to 
the pain.   One group of people write simply because it is demanded of them
by employers (or 
teachers).  A second group set down words because they like to write.  And a
special third 
group may internally be compelled to pen things due to changes in the brain
that Alice Flaherty 
and colleague neurologists label hypergraphia, ?an overpowering desire to
write.? [1]

Single line without line break

I am using perl5.8.8. basic console perl programming. Please suggest.

Ramkumar,
