Try this code. It's untested, and I never get it right if you need the
{} around Count or not.
my $doc = $word->Application->Selection;
# Selection can be the entire doc or refined to a sub-set of text
# It is easier to use the functions that exist in word to do the work.
$num_paragraphs = $selection->Paragraphs->{Count};
$num_words = $selection->Words->{Count};
$num_chars = $selection->Characters->{Count};
$num_pages = $selection->pagenumbers->{Count};
As for the line count, your going to have a problems here. Word probably does not mark new lines as you would expect. It automaticly wraps based on the available space. So instead of looking for line count you could do Sentence->Count.

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).
