Not offhand, though I know that there are a few patches in the CVS copy of Net::ICal on sourceforge that haven't been released to CPAN. I've been a Bad Module Maintainer and haven't had time to patch and release Net::ICal in a while. > Does anyone know of any variations between 'standard' ical format and the > version that Apple has implemented?

And if you do, reefknot-devel would love to see them also. Net::ICal (and its major substrate, Date::ICal) have been languishing because I and the other major contributors have been overwhelmed by the real world. If anyone's interested in contributing to the code and making it suck less, I'd recommend you join the reefknot-devel list and post an intro. Also, we'll cheerfully take bug reports and patches over there. :) srl -- Shane R.
