Swish doesn't know about SwishSpiderConfig.pl -- all it knows is it's
running a progam and that program is returning documents. spider.pl just
happens to look for SwishSpiderConfig.pl by default.
You can turn things around and call swish from a program. So instead of:
swish-e -c config -S prog -i /path/to/program
where swish reads input from /path/to/program, you can do:
/path/to/program | swish-e -c config -S prog -i stdin
that "stdin" is a hack to make swish read from standard input. So you can
extend that, and from within a program you can say, for example:
open CONF, "swish.conf" or die $!;
print CONF <<EOF;
DefaultContents HTML*
StoreDescripiton HTML* <body>
PropertyNames foo
EOF
close CONF;
open SWISH, "swish-e -c swish.conf -S prog -i stdin|" or die $!;
while ( $doc = fetch_next_doc() ) {
print SWISH $doc;
}
close SWISH or die "failed to close";
unlink swish.conf;
