I have been trying for some time to get at the contacts in a mailbox on
exchange server 5.5. I have been using Win32::OLE with CDO. I can get the
contacts folder, the count of items in it, and even the name of each contact
but I can't seem to get at any of the fields. I have found many examples in
VB that use the outlook object model to do this but I need to get the data
from the server without outlook. All my attempts at this have failed
miserably. I have tried to understand the documentation on MSDN however
there are no specific examples for getting the contacts from the server.
All examples I have found deal with the contacts from the client not the
server and the few I found written in perl don't seem to work at all. Since
this is generally an Microscrap question, I have posted numerous times to
the MS newsgroups for exchange with no responses. If someone can give me an
example or point me in the right direction, I would be eternally grateful.

Chris,
You might have better luck searching MSDN and the Knowledge Base for "Global Address List" (GAL). The GAL is the common name in Exchange-speak for what you are calling the Contacts folder on the server. My experience with CDO is limited to OLE-DB/ADO/VBScript, so alas, that's all I can tell you.
