A different approach would be to virus scan the documents and quarantine infected ones. You could try Covalent's anti virus plugin for Apache. It has perl bindings. http://www.covalent.com/products/antivirus/ It's not a pure perl solution but it does come from Doug MacEachern's [1] employers so it has reasonable credentials I guess [2].
