No problem. BTW, what is ‘real-time indexing’? If it is what I think  
it is, I may be able to use it. (One problem I’ve come across is that  
I can’t modify a document once I’ve added it to the index within the  
same indexing session [or can I?].)

Thank you. I’ve already written something similar, which should be  
faster as there are fewer method calls:

     my @locs = map [$_->get_offset,$_->get_weight], @{$heat_map- 
 >get_spans->to_perl};
     @locs = map $$_[0], sort { $$b[1] <=> $$a[1] } @locs;
