You should not have to install the filters manually, as far as know.

I think piping the output of DirTree.pl into swish is a fine way to
go about things.

One thing you can do is save the output of DirTree.pl to a file so
you don't have to rerun it over and over, and you can inspect it with
an editor.  Then feed that file to swish for indexing.

Those are odd, and I can't really guess what's causing those without
debugging in your environment.

Will Windows 2000 run DirTree.pl directly without specifying
perl.exe?  In the past I've done

IndexDir /path/to/perl.exe
SwishProgParameters /path/to/DirTree.pl /path/to/index

But again, I like saving the output of DirTree.pl to a (compressed)
file and then feed that to swish.
