SYNOPSIS
my $vevent = Data::ICal::Entry::Event->new();
$vevent->add_properties(
summary => "my party",
description => "I'll cry if I want to",
# Dat*e*::ICal is not a typo here

);
$calendar->add_entry($vevent);

DESCRIPTION
A Data::ICal::Entry::Event object represents a single event in an iCalendar file. (Note that the iCalendar RFC refers to entries as
"components".) It is a subclass of Data::ICal::Entry and accepts all of its methods.
METHODS
ical_entry_type
Returns "VEVENT", its iCalendar entry name.
optional_unique_properties
According to the iCalendar standard, the following properties may be specified at most one time for an event:
class created description dtstart geo
last-modified location organizer priority
dtstamp sequence status summary transp
uid url recurrence-id
In addition, "dtend" and "duration" may be specified at most once each, but not both in the same entry (though this restriction is not
enforced).
optional_repeatable_properties
According to the iCalendar standard, the following properties may be specified any number of times for an event:
attach attendee categories comment
contact exdate exrule request-status related-to
resources rdate rrule
SEE ALSO
Data::ICal::DateTime
For date parsing and formatting, including denoting "all day" events, considering using this module. Because it's a "mix in", you can
still use all the methods here as well as the new date handling methods it defines.
