There is a Perl module called Net::ICal.  I have used it successfully to parse a 
vcalendar entry.  From the README of the version that I have (don't know if 
there is a newer version):

Note, this is alpha level software. It is primarily intended for
developers and those who want an early peek. It works OK for all of
the example programs, but any serious diversion will probably break
it.
#########################################################################

The Net::ICal module is a perl binding to libical, a C language
implementation of the iCalendar calendaring and scheduling
protocols. The iCalendar data units and protocols permit users to
store and retrieve calendar data on remote servers and to schedule
events with other calendar users. The protocols are specified in
RFC 2445, RFC 2446 , RFC 2447 and two IETF drafts. For more
information, see the working group's web page at:

        http://www.imc.org/ietf-calendar/

This code is under active development. If you would like to contribute
to the project, you can contact me, Eric Busboom, at
eric@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The project has a webpage at

        http://softwarestudio.org/libical/index.html 

You obviously need the libical library as well to use this module.
