I am dealing with Win32::OLE Outlook.Application objects. I try to apply find method over an Items collection object in following code. 

$item = $items->Find( 
            '[Subject] = Test Subject 01'
        );

[download]

This works fine with entire field name. (It has the power of case ignore and ignoring parts like "RE:" at the begining.)

I want to modify it to match even a portion of the given field. i.e It should return same item set (probebly more) providing the filter string '[Subject] = Test' instead of '[Subject] = Test Subject 01' in the above code

MSDN Filter Syntax Reference discuss the operator Contain, but I can't apply it in Perl. Do you have any suggesion?

Thanks in advance - SB
