Hello,
Does anyone knows (where) how to get Amine Ramdane's Perl modules,
especially Win32-Mapi and Win32-Perlzip ?
Thanks for your help.

Most of the postings which turned up through Google or through the
Perlmonks Super Search indicate that Ramdane has disappeared and that
most of his modules are gone as well. One link found via perlmonks,
however, suggests that there may be .ppm repositories around:

Archive.org is sometimes helpful to find web pages that are gone.

http://web.archive.org/web/20020207124732/http://www.generation.net/~aminer/Perl/

But you should respect the author's wishes if he _wanted_ to remove his
code from the web. According to that page above, Amine Ramdane's
Perlzip module was not freeware; he charged $49.99 for a license.

I also found this:
http://www.digibuy.com/cgi-bin/order.html?aminer

Another possibility is searching for another module that provides
similar functionality, and is currently available on CPAN.
For instance:
http://search.cpan.org/~nedkonz/Archive-Zip-1.13/lib/Archive/Zip.pod

For MAPI, here's a site that has an example of using Win32::OLE to drive
a MAPI mail client:
http://www.unix.org.ua/orelly/perl/sysadmin/ch08_01.htm

That is an excerpt from an O'Reilly book, "Perl for System
Administration", which can be found here:
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perlsysadm/
I think it would be ethical and courteous to O'Reilly and the author of
that book to at least buy the book if you use a code sample that they
don't freely provide on their own web site.

Also make sure you comply with O'Reilly's policy on re-use of code
examples from books:
http://www.oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/ask_tim/2001/codepolicy.html

Bill K.
