This looks wrong (cut-and-paste errors - s/csharp/perl/ and the minimum
version is clearly wrong too - the XS Search::Xapian seems to need
Perl >= 5.6, though that may be different for the SWIG-based version):

+%if 0%{?!_without_csharp:1}
+BuildRequires: perl-devel >= 1.1 
+%endif

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Perl suggests you shouldn't put
perl-devel in BuildRequires anyway, but rather list the modules you
needed.  I'm not sure where the Perl XS/API headers come from though.

Looks like they are wrapped to me, though there's no test coverage for
them currently so they may not actually work.
