Jon Mitchell <address@hidden> described the package as follows:

Other License: 
Package: Readies
System name: readies
Type: non-GNU

Description:
A Gnome Desktop Application providing Personal Finance functionality.
 
This project (Readies) aims to provide simple to use functions to monitor 
day-to-day financial transactions, and hopefully over time will build up to 
provide comprehensive reporting and alerting functionality.
 
The project is written in Perl, with Glade providing the user interface, and 
the Perl SQLite DB module providing the underlying data store. The choice of 
SQLite give myself access to a full-featured and fast storage layer, whilst 
removing any configuration issues that a \'real\' RDBMS would need - the target 
user of this project is very much a desktop user, not a system admin.
 
Future developments will probably include XML for configuration management. A 
graphing system has yet to be designed.
 
This project should run on any system that has Perl and Gnome 1.4 - at the 
moment it has been tested on Mandrake Linux 9.0. GCC 2.9.5 or better is 
required to install the SQLite Perl module, which is accessible from the CPAN 
archive.
 
This project is not in competition with gnucash - gnucash offers a huge amount 
of functionality suitable for Home and Small Business use. Readies aims to be 
offer a much smaller range of functions tailored specifically for casual home 
use.

Currently, very early code, can be downloaded from 
http://www.jonm.co.uk/Readies.tar.bz2

It is not ready for release. Once unpacked, run main3.pl.

Thanks
