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.
