Here's the question: The client has a requirement that the users
create a Word document on a web enabled app and open it in the client
browser. I can create the word document and open it on the server
(using this command -- exec("c:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/
OFFICE12/winword.exe", "c:/TEST1.DOC")) but I can't get Word to open
the file on the client.


If I'm understanding you correctly, then you do not have a Perl problem.

If you send the appropriate (application/word?) Content-Type, then a
client on Windows, with Word installed, should be able to open it
no problem.
