I have developed some simple programs in java form creating lucene

Plucene and Lucene do not use the same index format. It's very
difficult to implement the Lucene format using Perl. KinoSearch 0.05
managed it if your source material was pure ASCII, but I changed the
format in 0.06 and they're no longer compatible.
Things will get a lot easier if this change is made: <http://
issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-510>.
If anyone here can help, I would appreciate it. After googling and
attempting to use Plucene directly, it appeared that it would be
better to use Plucene::Simple.
Plucene::Simple is just a wrapper -- it won't help.
Plucene can of course read and write its own indexes, but if you are
considering doing that, you should also be aware that it is quite
slow: <http://www.rectangular.com/kinosearch/benchmarks.html>.
