I don't know perl, so forgive me if I make an obvious mistake here, but this:

Looks like it's setting the file name as the document data, and then
$doc->get_data() is correctly returning the file name you set.

So everything is working fine, you're just not actually settings the
data to what you want.

Am I missing something here?  You'll need to read the file content and
store that, or, when the results are used you could open the file
based on the file name you're storing (this would save index size).
