I've been using WebService::Solr. I have a wrapper on top of WS::S, which
puts together the queries and handles the response. It's not perfect, but
it's worked fine for me so far. We don't have any utf-8 data, so I haven't
been bitten by wide-character issues. Good to know for the future though!

Thanks,
Drew
