Hi Im new so please bare with me. I have been given a project at work to create a perl script that sorts out incoming mail to a particular mailbox and then extracts data from those emails and then uses that data to create appointments in the calendar. Now I have managed to create this successfully but the problem I have is the calendar is another persons calendar, where i can only get it going for doing it on my calendar. so how do i add an appointment to another persons calendar, is pretty much what I need. It is driving me nuts. I have looked all over the internet and cant find anything.

Here is a sample of the code I am using for my calendar:


if(($start=index($subject, "Telecom Service Event", $start)) != -1) {
        ($SubjectRefuge, $Ref) = split(/Ref. /, $subject);
        
        my $newoutlook = Win32::OLE->new('Outlook.Application') or die
+ "Error!\n";
        my $newappt = $newoutlook->CreateItem(olAppointmentItem);
        $newappt->{Subject} = "Telecom Outage Ref: $Ref";
        $newappt->{Start} = "$Date $NZStd";
        $newappt->{Duration} = 1 ;  #1 minute
        $newappt->{Body} = "$body";
        $newappt->{ReminderMinutesBeforeStart} = 1;
        $newappt->{BusyStatus} = olFree;
        $newappt->Save();
    }

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
