Hi there, just getting started with this one, and didn't know where so I had a look around the monastery. I found the following node, How do I send E-mail via Microsoft exchange server from my Perl Program? and just copy / pasted the code.
I modified it slightly for trouble shooting, and so I would be able to logon ok... 
use Win32::OLE;
use strict;

# Create a new MAPI session
my $session = Win32::OLE->new("MAPI.Session")
        or die "Failed to create a new MAPI Session! " . $!;

[download]
Are the first few lines, and that is where it is dying, with the following error message. 
C:\Documents and Settings\GO\Desktop>test.pl
Failed to create a new MAPI Session! Bad file descriptor at C:\Documen
+ts and Set
tings\GO\Desktop\test.pl line 5.

[download]
Using windows 2k professional, and perl v5.8.1.

I have never tried to do this before and so am a bit stumped.
Any ideas much appreciated.
Regards,

Gerard
