Notes::OLE - Lotus Domino via Win32::OLE

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use Notes::OLE qw(all_servers server_event_log);
 $\ = "\n";
 print
     for
     map {
         my $l = $_;
         map "$l->{'name'}: $_",
             @{$l->{'log'}};
     }
     grep @{$_->{'log'}},
     map +{ 'name' => $S->CreateName( $_ )->Abbreviated,
            'log'  => [ server_event_log( $_ ) ],
     },
     all_servers();

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module makes writing perl for Lotus Domino easy by precreating yo
+ur
session object and providing some utility functions for enumerating av
+ailable
servers and traversing document collections.

=head1 OBJECTS

=over 4

=item $S

This is the global session object. It is exported by default.

=item $DT

This is a NotesDateTime object set to 12/31/1899. This is intended for
+ use
in NotesDatabase.Search( ... ) calls as a "default" limit.

=back

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=over 4

=item dc_all( $DocumentCollection, sub { ... } )

This function traverses NotesView and NotesDocumentCollection document
+s by
calling the .GetFirstDocument / GetNextDocument methods in a loop. The
second argument is a function callback. It is called with each documen
+t as
the sole parameter.

In list context the return results of the callback function is accumul
+ated
and returned by dc_all().

=item all_servers()

This function takes no arguments and it queries the server for a list 
+of other
servers.

=item server_log( "Foobar/Domain" )

This function takes a server name as a single argument. It returns the
+ contents
of the server's log.nsf database. The R5 and R6 log design was account
+ed for
and this function returns both seamlessly.

=item server_databases( "Foobar/Domain" )

This returns an array of hashes, one hash per database on the server. 
+Each
hash has some of the databases' data copied into it.

  filepath

    Hi diotalevi, can OLE method handle private/public key certification and account login on the Domino Server? I would find this module most useful if I could use it to create a simple online Email reader/parser (probably an Outlook filter??) for my Lotus Notes emails. I find the default Lotus Notes client very clumsy to use.

      This is just an interface to Lotus' published COM methods. You'll need to consult the documentation for that though I suspect you aren't going to get anything to authentication without the C API which explicitly addresses it.

    How about Win32::OLE::Notes or Win32::OLE::LotusDomino?

      Oh I don't much care. This isn't something I'm going to public to CPAN. I only created some pod so perlmonks.org users would have some documentation. The other thing to think of is reimplementing this as wrappers to the C and C++ APIs which can do some other things I wish was accessible via the COM interface. I'd probably want to call it Lotus::Domino:: or something.
