Win32::OLE version conflict problem...please help



Hi there
Semi newbie here. If this is the wrong forum for this, I
apologize. I'm trying to use a nifty module, the "Mail::Outlook"
module, that lets you send mail from Microsoft outlook when it's the
only mail client available on the system. So, that being said, to
implement this functionality, it uses another module - Win32::OLE - to
do the actual talking between Perl and Outlook. Now the issue - I'm
getting the following error when I try to run my script:


Win32::OLE object version 0.1701 does not match $Win32::OLE::VERSION
0.1702 at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 225.


When I scoured the net, I eventually found that the "OLE.dll"
file Perl uses is version 1701, and the "OLE.pm" file is version 1702,
hence the conflict (I think). What can I do? I can't find version
1701 of Outlook.pm on CPAN or elsewhere, and one more limitation of my
conundrum is that I work for a company where I can't just update
(ActiveState) Perl to a new version (if that even would help), because
it hasn't been approved by our IT people yet.
