=head1 DESCRIPTION

The C<gcal> command provides a quick and easy interface to Google Calendar from the command line.

Before using the C<gcal> command, you need to provide your Google credentials. The most convenient way to do this is by using your C<~.netrc> file and supplying credentials for the C<google.com> machine. For example:

  machine google.com
  login bill
  password 1234

NOTE: On Windows, your C<.netrc> file is at C<%HOME%.netrc>.

NOTE 2: On Unix, ensure your C<~.netrc> file has the permissions set to 600.

Alternatively, you can pass the username and password as a parameter to C<gcal>, as follows:
