Hi Irfan, Interesting question, and I'm afraid the answer is no, I don't think it's possible to use more than one index at a time with UMLS::Similarity. It's not a bad idea, it's just not something we considered during development so it is not supported.
So, if you specify multiple sources in a SAB entry you are asking for a single index that includes these multiple sources (so your interpretation is correct). My apologies, I hope you are still able to make use of UMLS::Similarity in some way.
