Folks:

Has anyone got a way, using the SWISHE perl interface,  to retrieve a list
of valid properties from an index?    Obviously it can be done from the
command line via  swishe -T INDEX_METANAMES -f whatever.index , augmented by
some grepping and cutting, but I don't see a way to do it from within perl.

Obviously there's a not-unreasonable assumption here that if you're running
a site you oughta know what properties you indexed the thing with, or at a
minimum be able to find the config file that memorializes those decisions.
But it would be nice to be able to do sanity-checking on properties before
submitting them in a query, particularly in environments (like the Mason
templating system) where the "bad property" error will not be reported and
the app will sink without a trace.

Best,
Tb.
