I'm trying to send emails via Outlook 2007 after upgrading from Outlook 2003 and am coming across some errors. Below is the code that I have. Currently I have an issue with "$msg = $session->Outbox->Messages->Add();", but I forsee that I may have more issues; for instance "$recipient = $msg->Recipients->Add();". Any help or guidance would be appreciated. 
use OLE;
use Win32::GUI;
use Win32::GuiTest;
use Thread;
use strict;

my ($pwd, $msgFileNm) = @ARGV; shift; shift;

open IN, "<".$msgFileNm or die "Can't open file of messages >$msgFileN
+m< : $!";

my $session;
$session = Win32::OLE->new('Outlook.Application');
die unless $session;

#get the Inbox folder
my $namespace = $session->GetNamespace("MAPI");
my $folder = $namespace->GetDefaultFolder("olFolderTasks");

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

# Logon to server
my $res = $session->Logon('Default Outlook Profile', $pwd);# or die "C
+ould not log onto Outlook $!";

my $thread1;

print "SendEmailFromFileViaMAPIOutlook.pl ".localtime(time)."\n";

my $msg; my $recipient; 
my ($to, $sub, $bdy, $cc) = getNextMsg();
while($to gt ''){
    $thread1 = Thread->new(\&handleMessageBoxes);

    # Create a new message
    $msg = $session->Outbox->Messages->Add();
    
    # Add the recipient and resolve the address
    $recipient = $msg->Recipients->Add();
    $recipient->{Name} = $to;
    $recipient->{Type} = 1; # 1-to, 2-cc, 3-bcc
    #$thread1 = Thread->new(\&handleMessageBoxes);
    $recipient->Resolve();
    if(length($cc) > 0){
        $recipient = $msg->Recipients->Add();
        $recipient->{Name} = $cc;
        $recipient->{Type} = 2;
        $recipient->Resolve();
    }
    
    # Add your text
    $msg->{Subject} = $sub; #"Email Test";
    $msg->{Text} = $bdy;    

    # Send the email
    $msg->Update();
    # 1st argument = save copy of message
    # 2nd argument = allows user to change message w/dialog box before

    # 3rd argument = parent window of dialog if 2nd argument is True
    $msg->Send(0, 0, 0);
