What is libfinance-qif-perl

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.
