PERL and Notes
This is just a general question - I have a names.nsf database with user IDS, can I write a perl script that will be able to access the names.nsf file and get information? Is there a way for PERL to access notes?

names.nsf is on every server
You shoudl check the Initialize methid in Designer help. It refers to accessing Domino via COM, and assumes you will probably use VB, but the object model is the same whether you access COM via VB or Perl.
On a server, you can pass a user name and password string pair as parameters, and it will attempt to do login the same way web browsers do. On a workstation, you must pass the password to the current default user ID file. You can also use the client form of Initialize on a server, but you can't use the server form on the client.

I have plans on writing a perl script that hits the server that names.nsf is on.
I would like to see the session initializing method you refered to.
