the docos are rather vague aren't they...

I had a look through the test suite and the example file google-calendar, and noticed that set_calendar($c) seems to be used prior to calling get_events()... Its entirely possible that this example file is very old and that requirement is now obselete. But FWIW, that was the only difference that jumped out at me while comparing your code with the example...

I haven't got the module installed so can't test it - but hopefully its a step in the right direction...
good hunting...

Update: Added in snippet to which i was referring to... 
my @calendars = $cal->get_calendars;
my ($c) = grep { $_->title =~ m!default!i } $cal->get_calendars;
#die "Couldn't get cal\n" unless defined $c;
$c = $calendars[0];
$cal->set_calendar($c);

if (!@ARGV) {
    print "Getting events\n";
    for ($cal->get_events()) {
        #print Dumper $_->as_xml;
        #next;
        print $_->title."\n";
        print $_->id."\n";
        my ($start, $finish) = $_->when();
        print "${start}-${finish}\n";
        #print $_->content->body;
        print "\n*****\n\n";
    }
    exit;
}

Update2: Just noticed that Simon Wistow still considers this module to be Alpha... could well be that get_events simply doesn't work properly yet...
