Note the PLucene is a pure-Perl port of Lucene and has nothing to do
with CLucene. And AFAIK CLucene developers don't have anything common
with the group that develops the original (Java) Lucene.

No. I tried contacting the maintainer listed on CPAN and got no replies.

You should find a changelog (if it exists) or contact the CLucene
developers about this.

I am still using CLucene in some of my projects. I can contribute a few
patches, if you decide to update it.

Also note that Debian still ships CLucene 0.9.21 (which is the reason
I'm still able to use it with Perl). I don't know about other distributions.
