Hello, everyone!
   You're getting this either because you've already subscribed to the 
finance-bank mailing list, or because you're the author of a 
Finance::Bank::* module on CPAN.  This will be the only unsolicited mail 
I'll send to you on this topic.  Please, forgive the intrusion.
   The purpose of this list is to standardize our API.  Ideally, a 
potential user of our modules will be able to use any of our modules, 
once they get their software working with one of them, making it easier 
to create reusable banking applications.
   I believe this shouldn't be all too hard, as, when you get right down 
to it, all our modules do more or less the same thing -- while there are 
variations on the data available from our different banks, they have 
more commonalities then they have differences.  (I say our, though I 
presently don't have a F::B module on CPAN, because of my ongoing work 
on Finance::Bank::Norisbank.)
