Re^3: Problem in installation of libwin32-0.191

You've misunderstood something then. Win32::OLE is just an interface to Windows OLE services. That is, in order to use it, you actually need the application installed as well. None of this applies to Unix/Linux boxes, it just won't work, I'm afraid.

What exactly are you trying to access in Outlook? And why via perl on a unix box, can you not install perl/libwin on the Windows box that Outlook is running on?

We got some automation stuff which needs us to access the subject of each mail and run scripts according to that. Aha. No we know what you're actually trying to achieve, we can probably help a bit more. You should have these emails sent to an email address which is delivered to a username on the Unix box. You can then use something like Procmail to pass the contents of the email to a Perl program which can parse it and take appropriate action. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]
