Version 0.04 just uploaded to CPAN goes one better - it allows the
caller to provide the value of -b used. Of course internally it really
only differentiates between -b != 2, but it removes ambiguity and is
somewhat future proof.


NAME
    Date::Remind::Event - Manipulate 'remind' output with Perl

SYNOPSIS
      use Date::Remind::Event;
      $Date::Remind::Event::BFLAG = 1;

      my $e = Date::Remind::Event->new(
        '2010/07/06 * * 60 1080 18:00-19:00 My Event'
      );

      print 'Start:       '. $e->date->hms         ."\n";
      print 'Duration:    '. $e->duration->hours   ." hour\n";
      print 'Description: '. $e->body              ."\n";

DESCRIPTION
    Date::Remind::Event provides a Perl object interface to textual events
    emitted by remind(1). The expected format of the input is the same as
    what is produced by "remind -s" (as defined in the rem2ps(1) manpage
    under "REM2PS INPUT FORMAT").

    remind(1) produces slightly different output depending on the value of
    the -b flag. To make sure that Date::Remind::Event handles this
    correctly you should set $Date::Remind::Event::BFLAG to the same value
    (default is 0).

CONSTRUCTOR
  new($text) => Date::Remind::Event
    Converts $text into a single Date::Remind::Event object.

ATTRIBUTES
  date => DateTime
    The start of the event.

  duration => DateTime::Duration
    The length of the event.

  end => DateTime
    The end of the remind event.

  tag => string
    The TAG value of the event.

  body => string
    The body of the remind event.

SEE ALSO
    DateTime, DateTime::Duration, remind(1), rem2ps(1)
