Using Plucene::Analysis::PorterStemFilter: I don't know where to start!

I have Plucene set up and running. But now I'd like to make my search
a little more "fuzzy" by adding Porter Stemming.

It seems the tool for this is the PorterStemFilter to "transform the
token stream".

According to the documentation on CPAN, the only method available is
the "Next" method:

my $token = $porter_stem_filter->next;

Sorry to be a boob, but how/where do I use this method to "transform
the token stream"?

I started with PluceneSimple, but I'm willing to use full Plucene if
need be.

Any advice would be awesome.
