To use this program as written you need a PC with Perl and Lotus Notes installed, and it should already be configured so that you are able to login to Lotus Notes and read your mail.

You don't need to compile the source code, or anything like that. Just save this code to a file (e.g. "get_mail.pl") and run it from a Windows command prompt: perl get_mail.pl . Some command line options are described in the source code comments.

If Lotus Notes isn't already running, it will launch automatically.
