What is libfinance-qif-perl
libfinance-qif-perl is:
Finance::QIF is a module for working with QIF (Quicken Interchange Format)
files in Perl. Finance::QIF reads QIF data records from a file passing each
successive record to the caller for processing. This module also has the
capability of writing QIF records to a file.
The QIF file format typically consists of a header containing a record or
transaction type, followed by associated data records. Within a file there
may be multiple headers. Headers are usually followed by data records,
however data is not required to always follow a header.
A hash reference is returned for each record read from a file. The hash will
have a “header†value which contains the header type that was read along with
all supported values found for that record. If a value is not specified in
the data file, the value will not exist in this hash.
