I believe it's an iCal file, actually (i.e. an invitation). If so, its 
format is defined by RFC 2445 (Apple didn't invent it): 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2445

Here's the Apple document on the subject: 
http://developer.apple.com/internet/appleapplications/icalendarfiles.html

There's a perl module for handling them (Net::ICal), and a couple 
other useful projects (search Freshmeat.net for "icalendar").
