neat! This worked for me except it did not print the Caption on line 26. I'm using Outlook 97 (poor me) so maybe that's the problem. $activeexplorer->CurrentFolder->Name seems to work though.

What is the meaning of 069 (line 46)?

I added some code after line 24 to automatically change to the Contacts folder: 

use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Outlook';

[download]
and 
my $outlook;
$outlook = Win32::OLE->new('Outlook.Application');

my $namespace = $outlook->GetNamespace("MAPI");
my $Folder = $namespace->GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts);

print $Folder->Name,"\n";

my $items = $Folder->Items;
print $items->Count,"\n";

[download]
does it. (Between "my $outlook;" and "print $items->Count,"\n";)

This doesn't change folders on the running copy of Outlook. The extra "use" line is required for using olFolderContacts.
