I know the idea of CDO on Linux is a bit strange but here it is anyway..

My problem is to access the contacts of an individual's mailbox on an exchange server from a linux box using Perl. I know there is a solution using Active State and win32 libraries but that has to be done from a Windoze machine. I need to do this from a web application on the Linux machine.

As I understand it CDO is an extension of IMAP (please correct me if I am wrong) but I cannot seem to get all of the details of the contacts using IMAP. Using IMAP the message returned is very basic and includes the name of the contact as the message subject and the generic notes for the contact as the message body. All of the details of the contact are missing. I expected them to show up as the "X-" headers.

I have searched CPAN, Google, SourceForge, and many many lists on this subject.

Thanks much in advance..
