Not a trivial undertaking.

I would bet that you would get mileage out of some of the Win32::OLE examples here about generating Outlook messages, combined with an examination of the specific headers that are contained in a meeting request and a meeting response message within Outlook, such as the sample request below (derived from a save as text command in outlook gui, and so perhaps not a complete example - might be better to use Win32::OLE to get the message and look at its headers). Relating such an Update to the original meeting request (so that the acceptor has their calendar block moved, rather than duplicated) and exhaustively accounting for recurrence patterns, meeting statusi, and show time as values are other non-trivial parts of this exercise. Happy coding!
