<p>If I were on a Windows box that had Microsoft Word installed, I would use Win32::OLE to control Word to retrieve that information. However, that combo isn't available on Linux.</p>
<p>One alternative would be to use [http://www.openoffice.org/|OpenOffice] or [http://www.libreoffice.org/|LibreOffice]. Although I personally have never done so, I believe that they offer some kind of API that you could leverage from Perl similar to someone using OLE to control Microsoft Office software in Windows.</p>
