But, but, but...

Which templating output system are you using?  The default one?

It does:

<form method="get" action="$form" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" class="form"> 

and $form is $q->script_name which CGI.pm gets as $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} --
and apache sets that for each request.


If you are using the Template Toolkit template then it does:

   [% CGI.start_form( '-action' => CGI.script_name, '-method' => 'GET' ) %]

And, as you can see, that's calling the CGI.pm's script_name()
function directly to set the action, just like above.  The point is,
Apache is running the script in the first place, so it knows the URL of
the path.

So, unless you run the script from document root, I can't think of
anyway it set the action to /swish.cgi.

I'm not sure I understand the question.  

There was a broken version that installed some modules to the wrong
location, but that was fixed a while back.  Are you saying
TemplateDefault.pm was installed in /usr/local/lib/swish-e/perl/?
If so, please let me know exactly what version of swish-e you installed.

But, yes, TemplateDefault.pm is suppose to be installed in 

   $PREFIX/lib/swsih-e/perl/SWISH/

But the "use lib" line is also suppose to be:

   use lib '$PREFIX/lib/swish-e/perl';

without the "SWISH" part because the module's name is:

   SWISH::TemplateDefault;

When the script loads that module is combines the two paths:

   $PREFIX/lib/swish-e/perl + SWISH::TemplateDefault

to come up with:

    $PREFIX/lib/swish-e/perl/SWISH/TemplateDefault.pm
