MS Word files and MacPerl

Allan,

A while back, I looked into this (parsing Word files with MacPerl). At that
time, it seemed the best way to do this on a Mac would be to have your Perl
script run an AppleScript to make Word save the file as html (because a text
file won't include the formats you're interested in).

The MacPerl/AppleScript combo seemed easy & powerful. Unfortunately, I have
never learned much AppleScript, so I didn't get far.
