I have narrowed the problem down to the line

%headers = map { lc($_) => ($swish->HeaderValue( $index, $_ )||'') } 
$swish->HeaderNames;

which does not actually have anything to do with the SWISH::API creation.

The problem was that I just changed the script to pass the space separated 
list of names to run_query, which then performs the API creation. But the 
above function call only applies to an individual index, hence the error 
message.

Thanks all for your help, in the end it looks like user error...

I'm trying to catch up here.  That error is generated from
SwishPropertyList() or SwishMetaList() when passed a index file name
that could not be looked up.

Can you simplify your code, throw in a few print statements and show
what's being called and where?  Seems like you must be passing in an
index filename that doesn't exist -- or swish-e is failing to look up
the file name correctly in the list of of open index files.
