The term generation strategy has changed with the 1.0.0 release.  The 
document you need to read is:

http://www.xapian.org/docs/termgenerator.html

It might be worth mentioning that Xapian now includes some routines for 
generating terms from text in a manner compatible with the query parser: 
see the TermGenerator class.  (I'm afraid I'm not sure exactly how 
that's wrapped in Search::Xapian, not being a Perl user.)
