NAME

Cal::DAV - a CalDAV client

SYNOPSIS

    my $cal = Cal::DAV->new( user => $user, pass => $pass, url => $url);
    # the ics data will be fetched automatically if it's there
    # ... or you can parse some ics 
    $cal->parse(filename => $data);
    # cal now has all the methods of Data::ICal
    # you can now monkey around with the object
    # saves the updated calendar
    $cal->save;
    # deletes the calendar
    $cal->delete;
    # lock the file on the server
    $cal->lock;
    # unlock the file on the server
    $cal->unlock
    # steal the lock
    $cal->steal_lock;
    # also
    $cal->forcefully_unlock_all
    # and
    $cal->lockdiscovery
    # resyncs it with the server
    $cal->get;
    # Get the underlying HTTP::DAV object
    my $dav = $cal->dav;

DESCRIPTION

"Cal::DAV" is actually a very thin wrapper round "HTTP::DAV" and "Data::ICal" but it may gain more functionality later and, in the mean time, serves as something that

TESTING

In order to test you need to define three environment variables: "CAL_DAV_USER", "CAL_DAV_PASS" and "CAL_DAV_URL_BASE" which points to a DAV collection that the user supplied has write permissions for.

It should be noted that, at the moment, I'm having problems finding a CalDAV server that allows me to create files and so I can't run all the tests.
