in reply to meeting requests with iCalendar

Data::ICal would be my choice.

It is newer and better maintained. Also I could not install Net::ICal do to errors.

You may also want to take a look at Text::vFile.

    I took a look at Text::vFile but as far as I can tell it can only read vfiles, whereas I need to create a new one from scratch. Also, Data::ICal seems a little short on examples - do you know of any resources on it besides the POD? In particular, I haven't figured out how to create an attendee record. Cheers.

      Here is how I add an ATTENDEE:
          my $vevent = Data::ICal::Entry::Event->new();
    $vevent->add_properties(
        attendee => [ 'mailto:gam3(allen)@gam3.bet',
            { 'CN' => 'G. Allen Morris III',
              'ROLE' => 'REQ-PARTICIPANT',
              'PARTSTAT' => 'NEEDS-ACTION',
              'RSVP' => 'TRUE'
            },
        ],
    );
