[rochester-pm-list] Crazy question - spellchecker

[Steinberger, Craig J]

Justin,

It's not a quick and easy solution, but here is the UNIX spell program in
Perl.

Maybe the easiest thing to do is open a system call to the UNIX spell
command in the first place?

I want to be able to note words that aren't in a regular dictionary in
user-submitted text.  Is there a Perl resource out there to check spelling?
(I looked at CPAN but didn't see anything...)

All I want to do is highlight words that aren't recognized.  I could seach
repetitively through a text file containing all known good words, but that's
slow and redundant.  Is there a better solution I'm not thinking of because
I'm in a hurry?
