DOCBOOK-APPS: Word to Docbook using Perl?

[Corey Wells Arnold <corey@wubios.wustl.edu>]

Has anyone ever run across a Perl program that can process MS Word
tables into Docbook tables?  I am putting together a document that is
being written by many people who will be using Word.  Any ideas on what
is the best way to convert it to Docbook XML?  I have tried using the
Open Office filter, but it lacks support for some tags and doesn't seem
to process tables correctly.

Thanks,

Corey
