Example for creating split-transaction in Perl Finance::QIF - perl

Question

I need to import my bank-exported transactions (CSV) into GNUcash.
I am almost finished with the perl script using Finance::QIF
I parse the CSV and write it out like this:
my $record = {
header => "Type:Bank",
date => $outdatum,
memo => $outtext,
transaction => $outbetrag,
};
$out->header( $record->{header} );
$out->write($record);
....
But my problem is creating a split.
http://finance-qif.sourceforge.net/ says " If the transaction contains splits this will be defined and consist of an array of hash references. With each split potentially having the following values." - so I tried this:
my $record = {
header => "Type:Bank",
date => $outdatum,
memo => $outtext,
transaction => $outbetrag,
#splits = (
{
category => "Gesundheit:Arzt:Kind1",
memo => "L",
amount => "-161,66"
},
{
category => "Gesundheit:Arzt:Kind2",
memo => "F",
amount => "-162,66"
}
)
};
This leads to the error:
Unsupported field 'HASH(0x221c9e8)' found in record ignored in file '>_TESTqif.qif' line 22 at convert_bank_CSV.pl line 195.
Unfortunately, I nowhere found an example for creating a split, just for a normal transaction.
Can someone please help how Finance::QIF can be used to create split-transactions?

Answer 1

I know nothing about Finance::QIF but your #splits code makes no sense.
Try this instead:
my $record = {
header => "Type:Bank",
date => $outdatum,
memo => $outtext,
transaction => $outbetrag,
splits => [
{
category => "Gesundheit:Arzt:Kind1",
memo => "L",
amount => "-161,66",
},
{
category => "Gesundheit:Arzt:Kind2",
memo => "F",
amount => "-162,66",
}
],
};
