in thread Connect to Microsoft Exchange

You don't need privileges to install modules. You would only need them if you wanted to install them for all users. Obligatory link: Yes, even you can use CPAN.

Regarding access to Exchange, you could use:

Ask the Exchange admin(s), or use a quick TCP connect port scan.

    Thanks Alexander

    I installed Mail::IMAPClient but i m not able to connect to the exchange server.

    use strict;
use warnings;
use Mail::IMAPClient;

my $imap = Mail::IMAPClient->new(
    Server   => 'XXXX.YYYY.com',
    User     => 'XXXX',
    Password => 'YYYY',
    Ssl      => 1,
    Uid      => 1,
);

my $folders = $imap->folders
    or die "List folders error: ", $imap->LastError, "\n";
print "Folders: @$folders\n";

      Are you sure IMAP is enabled on the Exchange server? With SSL? Have you asked the server admin or did you run a port scan? What output do you see? Why don't you check that new() was successful?

        I m not very sure if IMAP is enabled.Also tried commenting SSL but it didn't work.I think this script would also help me identify if the port is enabled or not( pls correct me if i am wrong). The call to new didn't succeed and didn't return an object that is the reason i m unable to call the method folders with it

        Thanks
