Thanks Bill,

Run this way, spider.pl appears to expect perl, so given the "f.conf" 
example (list of directives) it fails in a bountiful blossom of syntax
errors.

Hard to say, but probably not hard to debug.

Edit the spider's config file to point to a single PDF file.  Then just

run the spider like:

   spider.pl your_config_file.name > test.html

and look at test.html and make sure it has a title and content.

Then you can index that one PDF with:

   cat test.html | swish-e -c your_config -S prog -i stdin -T
properties

the -T properties will show you if the title is being stored.
