A Word document can compute its own page and line count as can be seen on the File->Properties->Statistics page. These values can also be calculated via the Word object model as follows:
#!/usr/bin/perl -l
use strict;
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Word';
my $word = Win32::OLE->new('Word.Application');
my $doc = $word->Documents->Open('c:\temp\test2.doc');
die "Unable to open document ", Win32::OLE->LastError() unless $do
+c;
my $pages = $doc->ComputeStatistics(wdStatisticPages);
my $lines = $doc->ComputeStatistics(wdStatisticLines);
my $words = $doc->ComputeStatistics(wdStatisticWords);
print "Pages:\t", $pages;
print "Lines:\t", $lines;
print "Words:\t", $words;
$doc->Close;
__END__
I couldn't get the Word Const to work under -w without generating warnings (although it works fine under warnings). So here are the required constants just in case:
wdStatisticWords = 0
wdStatisticLines = 1
wdStatisticPages = 2
wdStatisticCharacters = 3
wdStatisticParagraphs = 4
wdStatisticCharactersWithSpaces = 5
wdStatisticFarEastCharacters = 6

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).
