Ok, just now getting back to this.  I just installed SWISH::Prog via  
cpan. Then downloaded swish3 from http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/KARMAN/SWISH-Prog-0.42/examples/ 
  . Version 0.33 was gone by the time I got to this.  I made the file  
executable, but when I run it, it fails at line 9. Line 9 tries to  
reference the SWISH::3 module, which I am not able to build via cpan  
because I don't have libswish3 and libxml2.

This is all running from a BSD box. Debian is more my thing, but I am  
getting the hang of ports too now.  But of course, neither of these  
two programs are available in the ports directory.  I've been googling  
for a bit now and am having a hard time figuring out how to get these  
two installed.  Can I just git SWISH-3 from http://github.com/gitpan/SWISH-3 
  and then do a 'make' from within the downloaded directory?

Thanks again for the help.

Peace, Troy
