Thanks for all the information. I am running this on a NT server and would like to just start getting it to work on my local workstation. I tried this in my local cgi bin and cant get it to work yet it works when I run it in DOS:

my $outlookmail = "c:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/Outlook.ex
+e" ;
open (CMDLOG,"| $outlookmail") || die "failed to open: $!\n";
close CMDLOG || die "failed to close: $!\n";;
[download]

Anymore suggestions?
