I don't see a way with the modules in question to connect w/o having an ics file ?

Um, but I thought you already connected, you gave it a url, thats all you had to do to make a connection, the url is the file, it doesn't matter how the webserver stores it on the webserver, the url is what you're getting/editing/updating...

Try this next  print Dumper( $cal->cal ); this should fetch the calendar from the webserver, so you can read it update program for you 

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use strict; use warnings;
use Data::Dumper ();
Main( @ARGV );
exit( 0 );
sub Main {
    my $user = "test";
    my $pass = "test";
    my $url  = "http://baikal.local/cal.php/principals/test/testshift"
+;
    my $cal  = Cal::DAV->new(
        user => $user, pass => $pass, url => $url,
        auto_commit => 0, ## don't ->save any changes, we're testing h
+ere
    );
    dd( $cal->errors );
    dd( $cal->cal );
    dd( $cal );
}
sub dd {
  use Data::Dumper;
  print Data::Dumper->new([@_])->Sortkeys(1)
    ->Indent(1)->Useqq(1)->Dump . "\n";
}

Then to add entries call add_entries ... to figure out what you need add  print Dumper( make_entry() ); to  Cal-DAV-0.6/t/01basics.t and examine the output (show me)

Also try dave , CalDav is just WebDav which is just HTTP get :) 

dave -tmpdir ./i-baikal-tmp    -debug 3    -u test     -p test     "http://baikal.local/cal.php/principals/test/"
...
dave> get testshift
dave> quit

This should download the testshift database and save it in -tmpdir (or cwd)
