Not in the same sense, because I don't control those modules. Assuming that Lucy reaches maturity, I'll release a "deprecated" version of KinoSearch that points people to its successor.

In another sense, one could say that KinoSearch already has superseded Plucene, as it's about 25x faster for indexing at least. Note that KinoSearch owes a debt to the Plucene team, as will Lucy, for having yielded significant insights into why porting Lucene to other languages has been so difficult.

The CPAN hooks for CLucene are bare-bones. There's been talk of a forthcoming CPAN distro under the name "Lucene" which would provide much more extensive bindings for CLucene (not Java Lucene, which is confusing, but there you go)... but nothing has been released yet.

In summary, if you're looking for a Lucene-alike on CPAN today that's both speedy and full-featured, KinoSearch is probably what you want. Sometime in the future, KinoSearch will quietly yield to Lucy. The API and the file format will be slightly different (and therefore incompatible), but changing over will be pretty painless.
