Yes - if the set has up to 200 elements (that's an internal hard limit), DateTime::Format::ICal should do the right thing: print DateTime::Format::ICal->format_recurrence( $set ); DateTime::Format::ICal can only format infinite sets which were created either with DateTime::Event::ICal or with DateTime::Event::Recurrence. - Flavio S.
