I read your note while looking for help with reading from the Outlook calendar. I have done some programming based on what I could glean frome sites and from the MSDN <shudder> and have posted my code to the Monks. This program should be able to help you out with reading of the data.

A helpful tool was once I had gotten the items, I did a foreach loop of them like this: 

my $calitems = $namespace->GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar)->{Items}
+;
my $it = $calitems->GetFirst;  #get the first Appointment item
foreach my $key (keys %$it)
{ print "$key = $it->{$key}\n"; }

For things that get printed out as Win32::OLE::Variant take a look at Win32::OLE::Variant documentation.

And once you get used to how they do things, the MSDN is a good resource.
