Figure 12-1 The Gmail contacts list

Importing Contacts.

You’ve got a list of contacts, and you’re not going home until you’ve added them

to your Gmail account. Hurrah, then, for Listing 12-1. This provides the basis

for a script to allow you to add contacts programmatically. It uses, as ever, the

Utils.pm and Mail::Webmail::Gmail modules that you’ve been working with

since Chapter 7.

Listing 12-1: Adding a Contact

use Utils;

$gmail = login();

# input data from keyboard

print “name:\n”;

$name = <>;

print “email:\n”;

$email = <>;

print “notes:\n”;

$notes = <>;
