The Native Indexer is a wrapper around the swish-e version 2.x binary tool.

Create indexer object. All the following parameters are also accessor methods.
A SWISH::Prog::InvIndex::Native object.
A SWISH::Prog::Config object.
The path to the swish-e executable. If empty, will just look in $ENV{PATH}.
Takes same args as swish-e -v option.
Takes same args as swish-e -W option.
String of options passed directly to the swish-e program.
Initialize object. Called by new().
Returns true if the exe() executable works, false otherwise.
Start the indexer on its merry way. Stores the filehandle in fh().
Returns the $indexer object.
You likely don't want to pass cmd in but let start() construct it for you.
Get or set the open() filehandle for the swish-e process. CAUTION: don't set unless you know what you're doing.
You can print() to the filehandle using the SWISH::Prog index() method. Or do it directly like:
print { $indexer->fh } "your headers and body here";
The filehandle is close()'d by the finish() method.
Close the open fh() filehandle and check for any errors.
Called by the magic DESTROY method so $indexer will finish() whenever it goes out of scope.
merge() will merge @SWISH::Prog::Native::InvIndex objects together with the index named in the calling Indexer object.
Returns the $indexer object on success, croaks on failure.
process() will parse and index doc. doc should be a SWISH::Prog::Doc instance.
Will croak() on failure.
Add doc to the index.
Note this is slower than merge(). If you have multiple doc objects, create a new Indexer object and process() them all, then merge() the two InvIndex objects.
my $indexer = SWISH::Prog::Native::Indexer->new(invindex => 'tmpmerge');
$indexer->start;
for my $doc (@list_of_docs) {
$indexer->process($doc);
}
$indexer->finish;
$indexer->merge( 'path/to/other/index' );
