Win32::Mapi Download

Mitch has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

I've read about the Win32::Mapi module and would like to download it with its documentation. However, it's not available on CPAN and I do not see any files available for download at

http://www.generation.net/~aminer/Perl/

The zip and scripts directory links keep bouncing me back to the parent directory. I also tried e-mailing the author, but so far he hasn't replied.
Does anyone know where to get the module, or if the module is still available? It seems like it would be perfect for reading e-mails from Exchange servers and easier to work with than OLE. Any information would be much appreciated, thank you.

Mitch

Thanks for the link, but I am unable to locate the ppd file. I'm working behind a proxy, so it maybe preventing me from getting out, even though I have the system environment variables set on my workstation to get out. Do you know of a site where I can download the files without having to PPM?	[reply]

I was unable able to locate this modele at The Activestate Code Repository If you can't find or download a PPM, then you can always try building the PPM yourself. Check out the How Do I Make a PPM package FAQ.	[reply]
