Use 'or die Win32::OLE-> LastError();' to see what the error is.  In this
case it was 'Type mismatch' on the line with Ecexute.  Then look in the
Visual Basic Object Browser (in Word, under the tools-> maco menu is the
Visual Basic Editor, you use this to look at macros that you want to do in
perl, in the VBE under the View menu is the Object Browser).  Here you can
see that 'Const wdReplaceAll = 2'.  So, replace wdReplaceAll with 2.
