Yes, it is based on RFC2445. Date::ICal does not implement named timezones. If you need additional functionality, that would be in the new "DateTime" module, or in Net::ICal. Net::ICal - Interface to RFC2445 (iCalendar) calendaring and scheduling protocol. DateTime - Reference implementation for Perl DateTime objects - Flavio S. Glock
