SYNOPSIS


my $vevent = Data::ICal::Entry::Event->new();
$vevent->add_properties(
summary => "my party",
description => "I'll cry if I want to",
# Dat*e*::ICal is not a typo here

);
$calendar->add_entry($vevent);
$vevent->add_entry($alarm);

DESCRIPTION

A Data::ICal::Entry::Event object represents a single event in an iCalendar file. (Note that the iCalendar RFC refers to entries as ``components''.) It is a subclass of Data::ICal::Entry and accepts all of its methods.

METHODS

ical_entry_type

Returns "VEVENT", its iCalendar entry name.

mandatory_unique_properties

The "uid" property is mandatory if "rfc_strict" was passed to ``new'' in Data::ICal.

optional_unique_properties

According to the iCalendar standard, the following properties may be specified at most one time for an event: 

        class  created  description  dtstart  geo
        last-modified  location  organizer  priority
        dtstamp  sequence  status  summary  transp
        uid  url  recurrence-id

In addition, "dtend" and "duration" may be specified at most once each, but not both in the same entry (though this restriction is not enforced).

Or if "vcal10 => 1": 

        class dcreated completed description dtstart dtend
        last-modified location rnum priority
        sequence status summary transp
        url uid

optional_repeatable_properties

According to the iCalendar standard, the following properties may be specified any number of times for an event: 

        attach  attendee  categories  comment
        contact  exdate  exrule  request-status  related-to
        resources  rdate  rrule

Or if "vcal10 => 1": 

        aalarm  attach  attendee  categories
        dalarm  exdate  exrule  malarm  palarm  related-to
        resources  rdate  rrule
