What formats do they make the data available in?

To actually call it online banking is almost a joke. They offer secure access to web page reports of your transactions. They offer no direct access to accounts (so you can't reconcile from within Quicken) or downloading of files in any format (DIF or QIF). It is annoying. I am working on enlightening them at the moment. Changing banks isn't really an option, because I hate fees and this one doesn't have any.

I can select and copy the data from the web page and do a reasonably good formatting job with it in Excel and then save it in comma delimited format. Much of my work with changing software packages on a personal and professional level,in the past, has proved this format to be the holy grail as almost everything can import such a format... just not Quicken... argh.

Therefore, I thought Perl would be good. Thanks for the resource. I hadn't really thought of GNUCash before. But their notes and the modules mentioned below should put me on the right track.
