Cal::DAV(3pm)

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.

METHODS

  new <arg[s]>
Must have at least "user", "pass" and "url" args where "url" is the url of a remote, DAV accessible ".ics" file.

Make a new calendar object using same arguments as "Data::ICal"'s "new()" or "parse()" methods.
