in reply to Outlook Addressbook Import

You can export the address book to a CSV file and then read that. The only caveout is that some fields may contain newlines, so you can't equate end-of-line with end-of-record. I have no idea if the CSV modules out there handle this correctly, but last I checked (~1 year ago) they didn't. I believe you have an option in Outlook of what fields to export, so if you find it just export the fields you want.

    tillys Text::xSV handles linefeeds in CSV records, as long as the values are quoted. It's a pure Perl module and thus relatively slow, but I guess that importing stuff from the Outlook object model and/or the MAPI accesses would be the bigger bottleneck.
