I am trying to develop summery db of existing user mail content. It was faily success. Still I suffer with following primary problem.

I can not connect the existing instance of the Outlook application. When I use following piece of code: 

if ($outlook = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Outlook.Application')) {
    print "Try 1 : Success!\n";
} else {
    print "Try 1 : Failed!\n";
}

if ($outlook = Win32::OLE->new('Outlook.Application')) {
    print "Try 2 : Success!\n";
} else {
    print "Try 2 : Failed!\n";
}

Output comes as:

Try 1 : Failed!
Try 2 : Success!

I am using Outlook 2000 on Windows 98 SE platform. Thanks in advance for all of you can clarify this problem for me here...
