Exportin sales in MS Word (!)

Hi there,
we're collaborating with a group that needs to receive the sales in a formatted word file, because "we've got a proprietary system that imports data only from Word" (WTF?!?!?)

Does someone know a good start point to work with? :D

perl CPAN has methods to read / write virtually every format on the planet (this is a module system that is used in perl, vicidial runs a lot of perl scripts and uses CPAN modules for excel conversion).

so find the CPAN directions for loading the Word conversion tools and then modify the existing script (copy to another file so it isn't overwritten) to convert to word after generating the document.

does it need to be ".doc" or will ".rtf" do? :)
