Description
Calls which expect automatic integer to string conversion no longer works with the SWIG Xapian.pm bindings:
my $num = 6; $xdb->set_metadata("key", $num);
The old Search::Xapian bindings worked fine, and most Perl users expect auto-conversion from integers to strings. It would be easier for Perl users to auto-convert numeric values to the string type. Thanks.
