When opening a calendar file I get: Use of uninitialized value $action in exists at /usr/share/perl5/Data/ICal/Entry.pm line 487. Use of uninitialized value $action in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/Data/ICal/Entry.pm line 487. Can't parse VALARM with action at /usr/share/perl5/Data/ICal/Entry.pm line 487. This appears to be due to no $action for a VALARM. Here's an excerpt from the ics file: BEGIN:VALARM TRIGGER:-PT4H DESCRIPTION:Ottawa 67's Game vs. Kitchener END:VALARM This is from an online generated file so this may not even be valid. I have determined that removing the VALARM sections entirely causes things to succeed.

Quoting from RFC 2445 ( https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2445#page-70 ): The "VALARM" calendar component MUST include the "ACTION" and "TRIGGER" properties. The VALARM element, and hence the ICal feed in question, is thus not valid. - Alex
