You use pdfinfo to extract out the title from the pdf.

Why not use DirTree.pl and let it use SWISH::Filter to handle this?
It will be like faster than using the file system and calling the perl
script for every document.

I suppose you could use swish-filter-test to do the work for you (but
it would be very slow).

   FilerFilter swish-filter-test "-content -quiet '%p'" .pdf

I'd recommend using DirTree.pl, though.
