The blog is very old, it needs a complete update; unfortunate I have very 
few tuits these days...

create_unique() lets the neo4j server do the lookup and creates the node or 
relationship if it doesn't exist in the index (it wraps a REST call that 
does this natively)-- so your code doesn't have to spend cycles on this.

Should work like so:

$new_or_existing_node = $node_idx->create_unique( $indexed_property_name => 
$value_for_new_node,$node_as_hash)
$new_or_existing_rel = $rel_idx->create_unique($indexed_property_name => 
$value_for_new_rel,$from_node => $to_node,$relationship_type)
