I am sort of new to Perl and I have been trying to work with OLE and Outlook Calendar. I am parsing the calendar but I am having troubles with getting the reminders function. This is the part that I am having troubles and cannot find out what I am doing wrong ($message->{AppointmentItem}->ReminderMinutesBeforeStart;)
Thanks for any information.
Happy
Here is what I have:
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Outlook';
# Going to open a file to write too
# file location
    
my $outlook = Win32::OLE->new('Outlook.Application') or die
"Error!\n";

my $namespace = $outlook->GetNamespace("MAPI");
my $folder = $namespace->GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar);
my $items = $folder->Items;
print length($folder) . "\n";

for my $itemIndex (1..$items->Count)
{
  my $message = $items->item($itemIndex);
  next if not defined $message;
  
   $start_date     = $message->{Start}->Date;
   $start_time     = $message->{Start}->Time;  
   $end_date    = $message->{End}->Time;
   $end_time    = $message->{End}->Time;
   $duration    = $message->{Duration};
   $subject     = $message->{Subject};
   $categories     = $message->{Categories};
   $body        = $message->{Body};
   $reminder    = $message->{AppointmentItem}->ReminderMinutesBeforeSt
+art;
   # AppointmentItem.ReminderSet
    print "*****************************************\n";
    print "Start Date " . $start_date . "\n";
    print "Start Time " . $start_time . "\n";
    print "End Date "     . $end_date . "\n";
    print "End Time "     . $end_time . "\n";
    
    $duration_1 = ($duration / 60);
    print "Duration "     . $duration_1 . " hrs\n";
    print "\n";
    print "\n";
    print "Subject "     . $subject . "\n";
    print "Categories " . $categories . "\n";
    print "Body "         . $body . "\n";
    print "Reminder "     . $reminder . "\n";

}
