NAME
    Acme::RunDoc - executes a Microsoft Word document as if it were Perl code

SYNOPSIS
     Acme::RunDoc->do("helloworld.doc");

DESCRIPTION
    It is recieved wisdom that word processors are better than text editors.
    After all, you can style your documents with different fonts and colours;
    you can take advantage of the built-in spell check; and your ugly single
    and double quote characters get auto-replaced with "smart" curly versions.

    This module allows you to run Perl documents edited in Microsoft Word (and
    other word processors capable of saving in the ".doc" format) as normal
    Perl code. You can write scripts and run them like this:

      perl -Microsoft::Word helloworld.doc

    or call them from other files using:

      Acme::RunDoc->do("helloworld.doc");

    You can write Perl modules using Microsoft Word too. (Just take care to
    rename ".doc" to ".docm".) To "require" them:
