Hi Monks,

I would like to store a recurrence set in a database, so that I can recreate it later. I attempted this: 

# every Monday, from 10:00 to 15:00
my $start = DateTime::Event::ICal->recur(
    freq   => 'weekly',
    byday  => ['mo'],
    byhour => 10
);
my $end = DateTime::Event::ICal->recur(
    freq   => 'weekly',
    byday  => ['mo'],
    byhour => 15
);
my $set = DateTime::SpanSet->from_sets(
    start_set => $start,
    end_set   => $end
);

print "Format for storage ",
 DateTime::Format::ICal->format_recurrence( $set );

But I get an error: 

format_recurrence() - Format not implemented for this unbounded set

[download]

I don't want to make it a bounded set (with start/end dates). And I don't want to just dump the object, because I need to visualize it later thru the web interface I'm writing.

Actually, I'm not even sure if an ICal style recurrence set is necessary.

At a dead end here.
