Lots!

After talking it over with Paul I went ahead and started hacking on
Finance::Bank::HSBC. The current release (v1.03) doesn't appear to
actually work - at all. However, I have a development version in the
works that not only works with HSBC's online banking, but can extract
a list of accounts (this may have already been available), a list of
the most recent transactions for each account and, if available,
statements for each account too. There are some finer details to the
functionality, and the module needs some polishing and cleaning up
(the POD definitely needs some work), but I'm looking to release v1.04
sometime soon.

All thanks to Paul and his "I'd really rather not do this via copy and
paste" attitude. I think we can all learn a thing or two[*].

spend several hours hacking away at a Perl module rather than several
