Hi Brad,

A while back I wrote a pure Perl SWISHE.pm replacement module that works 
with SWISH::API.  I wrote it for just this need, but also somewhat 
thought it might never get used.  It turned out not that hard to rewrite 
my code to use SWISH::API directly.

You might be able to use that module until you feel like rewriting your 
existing code.

 http://swish-e.org/Download/old/SWISHE-0.03.tar.gz

Not that "make test" will fail.  It's looking for the wrong index file 
"../tests/test.index".  To get the tests to pass you have to modify the 
test.pl file in that module distribution.  First make sure you have 
swish-e-2.4.0 unpacked some place and that make test works there.

Then edit the SWISHE-0.03/test.pl file.  For example, if you built 
swish-e in /home/brad/swish-e modify this line in test.pl from:

    my $indexfilename1 = '../tests/test.index';

to

    my $indexfilename1 = '/home/brad/swish-e/tests/index.swish-e';

and then run make test (after building the module).

BTW:

The README says:

  The SWISHE module (this module) is not a simple interface
  to the SWISH::API module.  It is provided for those that
  were using the SWISHE module with Swish-e version < 2.3.

I think that is my famous typo:  s/not/now/;

That would make me think it's not linking to the correct library.  With 
2.3 you have to run "make install-lib" (IIRC, check the INSTALL document 
to make sure).
