Option 3, well I hope you're a good C programmer. My solution: I paid $195 (or something like that) for a dll file called Redemption. I can look up more info if you can't find it with a google search. Some guy (who really knows MAPI) wrote it and he gets around all the security that 2003 uses.

cdo win32-ole "object model guard"
Hi
I have a perl program that sends email via win32-ole cdo.
I started having the 2 dialogs since "upgrading" :-( to outlook 2003.
The dialogs read:
1. A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in
Outlook. Do you want to allow this?
2. A program is trying to automatically send e-mail on your behalf. Do
you want to allow this?
The last one with the 5 second delay. I have read that this is called
"object model guard" and there is no registry setting to turn it off.
Since this is a work computer I can not uninstall outlook 2003. I have
also read that extended mapi can prevent this error. I have a C++
program that uses extended mapi to get the addresses of names and this
doesnt trigger the dialogs.
So I want to change my perl code so it doesnt ask for the 2 dialogs.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Here is the code which basically listens for smtp connections and
forwards the email to exchange. I have snipped the smtp portion to keep
it brief. If anybody wants the ocde I can include the whole program.
use Win32::OLE;
use Net::SMTP::Server;
use Net::SMTP::Server::Client2;
my $name = "Microsoft Outlook Internet Settings";
Win32::OLE->Initialize(Win32::OLE::COINIT_OLEINITIALIZE) ;
die "Coinitialize error", Win32::OLE->LastError(),"\n" if
Win32::OLE->LastError();
$Session = Win32::OLE->new('MAPI.Session');
die "Could not create a MAPI Session: $!", Win32::OLE->LastError(),"\n"
if Win32::OLE->LastError();
$Session->Logon($name, "");
die "Could not login: ", Win32::OLE->LastError(),"\n" if
Win32::OLE->LastError();
my $message = $Session->Outbox->Messages->Add($Subject, $Body);
for my $recp (@{$client->{TO}}) {
my $recipient = $message->Recipients->Add;
$recipient->{Name} = $recp;
$recipient->{Type} = 1; # 1 = "To:", 2 = "Cc:", 3 = "Bcc:"
$recipient->Resolve();

(I've checked the Perl docs, but couldn't find it). I could possibly
die() with a specific string, then use "if ($@ && ($@ ne ))" as
the error trap, but that's aesthetically unpleasing.
How about a simple return?
eval {
# do stuff
# ...
return if $some_reason;
# do stuff that might break
# ...
die $some_message if $something_broke;
};
if($@) {
print "ouch! $@";
}
# on with the show
# ...
You can also return values to outside the eval:
my $ret = eval {
return 1;
};
# $ret is now 1
If you're interested in why, here's the explanation. Our web site is
implemented via a series of "opcodes". The opcode is passed in the URL.
Sounds a lot like CGI::Application. I can recommend it.

There are lots of possibilites, why not just set a global vrbl (or at
least one that has scope) indicating the type of error to handle at
the end of the eval block:
my $user_err = 0;
eval {
...
$user_err = 1;
die ...
};
if ($@) {
if ($user_err) {
... # user error
} else {
... # real error
}
}

Creating multiple recipients in the Mail::Mailer module?
How do I create multiple recipients in the Mail::Mailer
module?
I currently have the following which works for a single
recipient in the 'To' field and I was wondering how to add more?
$mailer = new Mail::Mailer 'smtp', Server=>'SERVERNAME';
$mailer->open ({ From =>
'ANYNAME <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>',
To =>
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
Subject =>
'SUBJECT MESSAGE',
});
print $mailer $body;
$mailer->close();

Quoting O'Reilly book: Every process[2] has its own current directory. When a new process is launched, it inherits its parent's current directory, but that's the end of the connection. If your Perl program changes its directory, it won't affect the parent shell (or whatever) that launched the Perl process. Likewise, the processes that the Perl program creates cannot affect that Perl program's current directory. The current directories for these new processes are inherited from the Perl program's current directory.

RE: trying to parse a file...
Bruce,
Here's a simple module that parses the Python config file format you
specified. Use it like this:
use ParseConfig;
use warnings;
use strict;
my $cfg = ParseConfig->new('viewcvs.conf');
# Print only the specified root
# use $cfg->show() to print the entire file
$cfg->show('svn_roots');
# Add a name/path pair to the specified root
$cfg->add('svn_roots', test8 => '/foo/bar');
$cfg->show('svn_roots');
# Remove a name/path pair to the specified root
# Unimplemented: this is for you to finish!
#print $cfg->remove('svn_roots', 'test8');
As you can see, I left the "remove" method as an exercise for the reader :)
If you decide to use it, you may want to add a "save" method as well.
Hope this provides enough to get you started.
- Mark.

Re: Passing back results to calling command or CD
One MORE thing. If u set an alias u can dispense with the . on the command line. Set an alias like "alias mycd='. mycd.sh'. That way the . is taken care of within the alias and u don't have to type it. The mycd.sh script can do anything u want to come up with a dir name to cd to. -- REMEMBER THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ---=< WTC 911 >=-- "...ne cede males" 0100 ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
Re: Passing back results to calling command or CD
#!/bin/bash $destdir=`perlscript.pl $1` cd $destdir exit I need to clarify one thing. You have to invoke the script with a . infront of it so that bash will *not* spawn a subshell.

Modem File Transfer help
i have some devices that send data files via ZModem. i want to automate the process of receiving these files for parsing via a perl script. after searching CPAN and other sites, i find that it's not as easy as i would have thought. Devices::Modem doesnt allow file transfer, and is apparently very limited in the things that it can do. mgetty/vgetty is only for *nix machines. these are the only things i can find related to modems. is getting a modem connection via perl that difficult? any help will be great, thanks robert (ps, this was sent earlier from work, with the silly ATT\d+.txt webmail attachment) ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
RE: Passing back results to calling command or CD
this is one of the standard annoyances... the concept of a CDW, PWD, OLDPWD or whatever is a shell environment variable... 1) so you create a new shell (perl.exe) and cs somewhere and store the directory in a file... (or whatever) 2) your batch file (running in a cmd.exe of its own) then does a cd to this same directory 3) then cmd.exe exits and drops you back out in the original CMD.exe in its original working directory because each shell has its own copy which is propagated to its kids... on a unix box you'd be tempted just to do: #!/bin/sh #mycd.bat perl find_dir.pl %1 cd %directory_returned_by_find_dir% export $NEWDIR=$PWD exec $SHELL which probably looks like it works on the surface, but probably doesn't if you look hard enough (because it starts a new shell) You'd achieve this on unix by updating the .bashrc or whatever with a cd $NEWDIR command however you still get a brand new shell which might not be any use to you.

Passing back results to calling command or CD
Hi I am trying to write a program that will allow me to CD to various places (more details later). I want to call this from the windows command line (cmd). Ways I have tried are - use Perl "chdir" - but this only affects the perl process. The caller doesn't see that change. - write a bat file that calls the Perl which somehow returns the result back to the bat file that can then CD for you. How can you return this REM mycd.bat perl find_dir.pl %1 cd %directory_returned_by_find_dir% In a bit more detail as to what I am trying to do at application level. I want to be able to type "mycd test" and this looks up test in a flat file and finds test : c:\blah\blah\moreblah\test and cds you to the correct directory Any thoughts as to how to do this ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs

Ehrm... Sorry about that :)
