If you haven't already, take a look at the article I referenced in my earlier message. You should also view the Win32::OLE docs.

The short answer is that once you have the 'folders' object (or any collection), you can index it like an array. To wit:

# from your own example
my $outlook = new Win32::OLE('Outlook.Application');
my $ns = $outlook->GetNameSpace("MAPI") or die "can't open MAPI namesp
+ace\n";
my $folders = $ns->Folders();  # get the folders collection

foreach my $folder (in @$folders) {
  # here $folder will be set to each folder in turn
}

Hope this helps ..

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
