You can only install it on a Windows system. Win32::OLE can only be used to control applications on the same computer, so you would need to be running Outlook on the same system. Outlook only runs on Windows. So you would need to do this from a Windows box. Mail which is "in Outlook" often isn't actually in Outlook at all. You just have a view of data that is actually stored on a central server somewhere. You should look at ways to get at that data rather than looking at the clients. Just continually saying that you need something installed won't make it any more possible to install it on an incompatible system. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]
