It would be a problem where you are creating the index.  Some versions
of Perl have problems with characters on UTF-8 systems.  What Linux
distribution are you on?

$ echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8

You can set the LANG variable to whatever you need in the command line:
  LANG=en_US ./spider.pl

Or you can set it before you run a series of commands:
  LANG=en_US
  export LANG
  ./spider.pl
  swish-e -c config
