Re: Getting calender

[cacharbe]

The short answer here is Yes. The longer answer is a bit more complicated.

Some things you are going to have to do some research on (in no particular order) are:

• Win32::OLE
• Using Win32::OLE to connect to Exchange through one of the following:
• Outlook
• Outlook Web Access (OWA)
• CDO-NTS
• Using the MAPI interface to get the data you need
• Proper Authentication

Off the top of my head, the following will get a list of appointments from the current calendar:

use strict;
use Win32::OLE qw(in with);
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Outlook';
use Win32::OLE::Variant;

my $OL = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Outlook.Application')
        || Win32::OLE->new('Outlook.Application', 'Quit');

    my $NameSpace = $OL->GetNameSpace("MAPI");
        
    foreach my $folders (in $NameSpace->{Folders}){
        print $folders->{Name}."\n";
        my $folder = $folders->Folders("Calendar");
        print "\t".$folder->{Name}."\n";
        foreach my $item (in $folder->{Items}){
            print "\t\t".sprintf("%s",Variant(VT_DATE,$item->{Start}))
+." : ". $item->{Subject}."\n";
        }   
    }
