Hi, Perl: Activestate 5.6.1, OS Windows 2000, Outlook 200, Exchange 5.5

I'm trying to automate reading email from a public folder and write the results to a webpage. I am able to use
Win32::OLE, Ex: $Outlook=Win32::OLE->new('Outlook.Application');
successfully from the command line, but can't schedule the code, since the Task Scheduler service doesn't load the user registry hive. This is actually a problem for any of the Office products.

I was hoping someone had an alternative way of reading mail from Exchange/Outlook that could also be scheduled.

I have heard of a module that seems promising, but the link to the download has been broken for some time, Win32::MAPI, http://www.generation.net/~aminer/Perl/

It's also not available on CPAN.

Any information, sample code or links would be much appreciated, thank you.

Mitch
