You must have a very old version.  We converted the code to use it as a pipe
a long time ago:

# version 0.5.2 2007-03-23
#   - BUG: leadtime for recurring events had a max of 4 instead of
DEFAULT_LEAD_TIME
#   - remove project-lead-time, since Category was a non-standard attribute
#   - NOTE: There is a bug in iCal::Parser v1.14 that causes multiple
calendars to
#       fail if a calendar with recurring events is followed by a calendar
with no
#       recurring events.  This has been reported to the iCal::Parser
author.
# version 0.5.1 2007-03-21
#   - BUG: Handle multiple calendars on STDIN
#   - add --heading option for priority on section headers
# version 0.5 2007-03-21
#   - Add more help options
#   - --project-lead-time option
#   - Supress printing of heading if there are no todos to print
# version 0.4
#   - Version 0.4 changes all written or inspired by, and thanks to Mark
Stosberg
#   - Change to GetOptions
#   - Change to pipe
#   - Add --label, --help options
#   - Add Help Text
#   - Change to subroutines
#   - Efficiency and Cleanup
# version 0.3
#   - Convert to GPL (Thanks to Mark Stosberg)
#   - Add usage
# version 0.2
#   - add command line switches
#   - add debug code
#   - add SCHED _sfun keyword
#   - fix typos
# version 0.1 - ALPHA CODE.

you use it now by doing:

cat *.ics | ical2rem.pl
