In that case you can use the Perl version of spell at the URL I sent you and
do system call to it. Or, you can just include it into your own code.

It would be... except I'm not on Unix. I'm actually checking a relatively
small chunk of text (100-150 words), so what may work is to read in a
dictionary file once, and then compare it against the text. (As opposed to
searching for each of the 100-150 words in the dictionary file reapeatedly.)
