    Thanks for the pointer. Maybe I can do this entirely in pure Perl, and drop any intermediate file formats. :)

    maybe you could save your doc in XML or HTML, and then parse the result with your favorite XSLT or regex tool. Something along the lines :
    
    use Win32::OLE;
    
    sub wdFormatHTML {8}
    sub wdFormatXML {11}
    
    my $msword = Win32::OLE->new("Word.Application");
    my $doc = $msword->Documents->Open($src_name);
    $doc->SaveAs($target_name, wdFormatXML);

      Thank you for the concrete example. That looks like it may work very well.
