I just downloaded the svn version of s3flat and built it on a Debian Linux machine; no problems. I'm trying to run the setup script, and it echoes the instructions back:

# perl ../scripts/setup_s3flat.pl -task TNA
Usage:
To setup a new sphinx3flat task
Create the new directory (e.g., mkdir RM1)

    Go to the new directory (e.g., cd RM1)

    Run this script (e.g., perl ../sphinx3/scripts/setup_s3flat.pl -task RM1)

I don't know how to debug perl and see what it's stumbling on. I'm assuming I have to get past this step to do anything? This is my first encounter with Sphinx.

I built the binary in

/share/software/svn/sphinx/s3flat/bin/linux

The project directory is

/share/software/svn/sphinx/s3flat/TNA

The scripts are in

/share/software/svn/sphinx/s3flat/scripts

What should my configuration command look like? Sorry this is trivial but I'm used to bash, where it's easy to see what's going wrong. Appreciate a pointer to get past this point.

I'd like to see what s3flat can do with batch decoding of files. Are there instructions on how to get this going?
