DESCRIPTION
Net::ICal::Attendee provides an interface to manipulate attendee data in iCalendar (RFC2445) format.

METHODS

  new($calid, $hash)
New will take a string and optional key-value pairs. The string is the calender user address of the Attendee (usually a mailto uri).

    $a = new Net::ICal::Attendee('mailto:alice@example.com');
    $a = new Net::ICal::Attendee('mailto:alice@example.com',
                                  cn => 'Alice Anders',
                                  role => 'REQ-PARTICIPANT');

Meaningful hash keys are:

•   cn - common name - the name most people use for this attendee.

•   cutype - type of user this attendee represents. Meaningful values are INDIVIDUAL, GROUP, ROOM, RESOURCE, UNKNOWN.

•   delegated_from - the user who delegated a meeting request to this attendee.

•   delegated_to - the user who's been delegated to handle meeting requests for this attendee.

•   dir - a URI that gives a directory entry associated with the user.

•   partstat - whether this attendee will actually be at a meeting. Meaningful values are NEEDS-ACTION, ACCEPTED, DECLINED, TENTATIVE, DELEGATED, COMPLETED, or IN-PROCESS.

•   role - how this attendee will participate in a meeting. Meaningful values are REQ-PARTICIPANT, OPT-PARTICIPANT, NON-PARTICIPANT, and CHAIR.

•   rsvp - should the user send back a response to this request? Valid values are TRUE and FALSE. FALSE is the default.

•   sent_by - specifies a user who is acting on behalf of this attendee; for example, a secretary for his/her boss, or a parent for his/her 10-year-old.

To understand more about the uses for each of these properties, read the source for this module and and look at RFC2445.
