Working on a small project to read a personal outlook calendar looking for corrupt data. I believe I have corrupt data in an recurring calendar event. The Following code started from: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=660500 And am looking to add reference to recurring items from this http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/officetips/sept05/tips0901.mspx The issue I'm having is I don't understand how to access the data structure RecurrancePattern and its objects. Here is the semi working code - Pulls calendar data and only displays if its a recurring calendar item. 
 use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Outlook';

my $outlook = Win32::OLE->new('Outlook.Application') or die
"Error!\n";
my $counter;
my $namespace = $outlook->GetNamespace("MAPI");
my $cal = $namespace->GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar);
my $items = $cal->Items;
#$appts->{IncludeRecurrences} = 'True';
#$items->Filter{IsRecurring} = 'True';

for my $itemIndex (1..$items->Count)
{

my $appts = $items->item($itemIndex);# or die("error getting cal appts
+: " . Win32::OLE->LastError());
#print Win32::OLE->LastError();
#next if not defined $appts;
if ($appts->{IsRecurring} >= 1 ) {
my $pattern = $apps->{RecurrencePattern};
$counter++;
print "\n\n";
print "subject = " . $appts->{Subject}."\n";
print "Start = " . $appts->{Start}->Date."\n";
print "Organizer = " . $appts->{Organizer}."\n";
print "Start Time = " . $appts->{Start}->Time."\n";
print "End = " . $appts->{End}->Date."\n";
print "End time = " . $appts->{End}->Date."\n";
print "Duration = " . $appts->{Duration}."\n" ;  #1 minute
print "Location = " . $appts->{Location} ."\n";
print "body = " . $appts->{Body} ."\n";
print "ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = " . $appts->{ReminderMinutesBefore
+Start} ."\n";
print "BusyStatus = " . $appts->{BusyStatus} ."\n";
print "AllDaEvent = " . $appts->{AllDayEvent} ."\n";
print "EntryID = " . $appts->{EntryID} ."\n";
print "CreationTime = " . $appts->{CreationTime}->Date, " ",$appts->{C
+reationTime}->Time."\n";
print "IsRecurring = " . $appts->{IsRecurring} ."\n";
print "Pattern Start = " . $appts->{RecurringPattern}->{StartDate}."\n
+";
print "Pattern End = " . $appts->{RecurringPattern}->{EndDate}."\n";
}
}

print $counter . "Total Recurring items\n";
