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).
