The index files are now in /var/cache/perlindex I had similar trouble after installing libfile-slurper-perl. But I could *not* reproduce the issue after the following steps: - remove libfile-slurper-perl - index - install libfile-slurper-perl - index The second step complained about unvalid data fed to unpack during garbage collection (line 170 of perlindex). Unfortunately, I've lost the actual error message I also noticed that the index was missing entries. I ended cleaning up the index as suggested and rebuilt the index from scratch. I think my index files somehow got corrupted. May be, purging the index periodically should be suggested to user (or added in a cron job).
