Fellow monks I come in seek of knowledge, again. Well everything was great until my Online Banking Website switched from QIF (Quicken) account information downloads to OFX / SGML files. Why can't people leave things well enough alone. I've searched for a editor/viewer for OFX / SGML files but haven't had any luck so I thought that I might be able to write a small script to get the needed information out of the file.
  Anyway my delima is that I don't know if I should use a module like XML::Simple or just throw together something else. Or maybe someone knows of a existing script I could use. Below is a sample of what the file looks like. Thanks in advance!
