I tried a perl script when I converted from Kmail to Claws 5 years ago,
but the script made a bunch of huge files unreadable by any import.
What I finally did is IMAP copied all my folders to a different tree,
then from Claws made an account that got its folders from that
different tree. From there, you can copy to a local tree.

If you don't want your business on gmail, you can install Dovecot
locally and do it that way. The local Dovecot route is also MUCH faster.

I liked my Dovecot local IMAP server so much that it still holds all my
email, and I use Claws just as a window into my IMAP server.
