Not a sure thing, but lots of financial applications like this can read Quicken's interchange format. Finance::QIF might be of use if your software can.

My vague recollection is that MYOB is pretty much a wrapper around Access database. Depending on what you want to achieve, you may be able to access the data using the Jet driver for DBI.

A quick scan at CPAN doesn't turn up anything for "MYOB". Maybe if you happen to have any sort of documentation or samples of the file format(s) that MYOB uses/supports, that would be a place to start.
It might not be too bad a stretch for someone to build a suitable set of perl modules, if this software isn't too much in the Microsoft design paradigm... (i.e. arcane, proprietary, and fiercy secretive about it). | [reply] |

Once you extract your data from MYOB, consider dropping it into SQL-Ledger, a GAAP compliant accounting package written in perl which uses postgres as its backend. The SQL-Ledger site has a page on converting from one accounting program to another, at:
http://www.sql-ledger.org/cgi-bin/nav.pl?page=misc/conversions.html&title=Conversions
It does not list MYOB, but if you can convert to Quicken or GnuCash, there is a pathway to get you all the way home to a perl based application.
Good luck.
