I looked around in google to see if there was a way to convert docx files to doc through the terminal and I found some potential solutions using perl's xmllib, but I was wondering if there was another way to do it, solely through the use of the terminal.

I guess a better question should've been, is there something similar to textutil for linux?

There are packages like having such descriptions , personally i never tested them. But do try.

Unoconv -converter between LibreOffice document formats and for its usage

And Office formats converter /jodconverter , also see its man page

P.S. & TIP : Try searching Converter in Synaptic , you will get lots of results , try them and use as required.
