DESCRIPTION

PayPal provides various kinds reports which you can retrieve from their website under Reports menu. This module provides routine to parse PayPal transaction finder report into a Perl data structure. The CSV format is supported. No official documentation of the format is available, but it's mostly regular CSV.

This module can recognize two variants of the report:

Search Transaction Results (STR)

Some characteristics of this variant:

• Date is MM/DD/YYYY only without hour/minute/second information

  Date will be converted to Unix epoch in the returned data structure.

• No transaction status field

Transaction Finder (TF)

Some characteristics of this variant:

• Dates are locale-formatted (e.g. DD/MM/YYYY)

  Date will be converted to Unix epoch in the returned data structure. Make sure you set the correct date_format parameter.

• Numbers are locale-formatted (e.g. 1,23 instead of 1.23 when using comma as decimal character)

  Formatting will be removed. Make sure you set the correct thousands_sep and decimal_point parameters.
