I got this from earlier post and it works great running in NT DOS where it opens up my Outlook mail with NO problems: 
my $outlookmail = "c:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/Outlook.ex
+e"; 
open (CMDLOG,"| $outlookmail") || die "$!"; 
close CMDLOG || die "$!";

But when I try and put it in a web page it does not work.
Here is Perl/CGI part called "outl.cgi": 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl 
use CGI qw(:standard); #Perl web CGI module 
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); 
my $outlookmail = "c:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/Outlook.ex
+e"; 
open (CMDLOG,"| $outlookmail") || die "$!"; 
close CMDLOG || die "$!";

Web part: 
<html> 
<head> 
 <title>Untitled</title> 
</head> 
<BODY> 
<FORM ACTION="outl.cgi" METHOD="POST"> 
 <TABLE width="60%"> 
<table><TR> 
 <TR><TD COLSPAN=2> </TD></TR> 
  <TR> 
 <TD> </TD> 
  <TD align="left"><input type="submit" value="Submit">  
                                                            
  </TD> 
 </TR> 
  </TABLE> 
 </FORM> 
</BODY>
