Win32::OLE (Score:1)

I wonder if it wouldn't be lazier to use Win32::OLE. I've found that it's very reasonable and makes a lot of tasks very simple.

I generate a lot of Excel spreadsheets using DBI + Win32::OLE, and I bet it would be just as easy to do the same with Word.

  That will let you write Excel spreadsheet without a Windoze box near you!
  Pure perl, pure goodness! Thank you jmcnamara.
  Now we just need someone to do Pod::Simple::MsWord, so we can avoid Word entirely.
