Word and Perl

So the current Word plan is, as I say:

• An OLE wrapper module
• The Word (and Excel) module written on that
• Higher-level Word tools written on that (templates, etc.)
• A library of useful Word code - ongoing research project for "Word patterns"

To that end, a small link dump:

• Word and PERL, a nice code sample post I always come back to when writing Word scripts
• MSDN's Word object model - this is what would get replicated in the Word module in Perl, hopefully along with minimal documentation
• Win32::OLE::Const, of course.
• More MSDN usefulness: working with tables
• A macro for deleting empty rows that I used to some benefit in a little translation script.

More on all this later: this weekend looks like time to start getting serious about the template module, and that means all this.
