Can I build Perl Script to import into Outlook?

If I have a .bas file on a server is it possible to setup perl script import that file into outlook and build a macro button that connects to it?

+2  A: 

See my example script which accesses your Outlook contacts and exports their email addresses.

So, in principle, it is possible. In practice, you are going to have to spend a lot of time in the Object Browser and figuring out which OLE objects and methods to use.

Thank you very much. Can you tell me the best place to go to learn more about the OLE objects/methods?
