The perl interface in 2.2.3 has been replaced in the current dev version
which is planned for a release any day now.
If just starting out with the perl interface I recommend you use a current
development version of swish-e.  Actually, I'd recommend updating
regardless.
I'd also like to have someone with OS X test the build system.  The OS X
servers that we normally use at SourceForge have been offline for weeks.
The current release is using Libtool to generate libraries.  Libtool just
released a new version (which is not in the Swish-e dev package), so it
would be very helpful for someone with OS X to test.  That way we will
know if we need to update libtool for OS X before making the next release.
