sounds like the Template module isn't getting loaded. That's Template 
Toolkit.

Is there a difference between 'template' and 'Template' ?

I thought activeperl was for Windows. Did you try cpan too?

SWISH::API is the Perl binding against libswish-e. Should be in the 
perl/ dir of the source distrib. Read the Perl API docs for how to

  perl Makefile.PL
  make
  make test
  make install
