The indexes aren't being notified that there's a new page that might
need scanning.

Simply have your Perl script also touch/update the .lastmod file in
wiki.d/, and the categories should start seeing your automatically
generated page(s).

In Perl the following will work to update the timestamp of .lastmod:

    open(my $fh, ">", "wiki.d/.lastmod");
    close($fh);

Hope this helps.
