Early[0] implementations of Swish3 for Perl are now available on CPAN.
http://search.cpan.org/dist/SWISH-Prog-KSx/
http://search.cpan.org/dist/SWISH-Prog-Xapian/
These Perl implementations offer KinoSearch[1] or Xapian[2] as alternate backend
libraries.
SWISH::Prog::Xapian should build indexes compatible with the swish_xapian tool
that comes with libswish3.
Feedback welcome.
[0] They are "early" because libswish3 1.0 has not yet been released.
