NAME Comment::Spell - Spell Checking for your comments VERSION version 0.001001 SYNOPSIS "Comment::Spell" is a work-a-like for Perl Comments similar to "Pod::Spell". It offers no *in-built* spell checking services, merely streamlines extracting tokens to pass to a spell checker of your choice, while removing some basic useful items (stop-words). It also, by default, ignores comments with two or more leading hashes so to avoid directive comments like those found in "Perl::Critic" # Shorthand for CLI perl -MComment::Spell -e 'Comment::Spell->new->parse_from_file(q[Foo.pm])' | spell -a # Advanced Usage: my $speller = Comment::Spell->new(); $speller->parse_from_file(q[Foo.pm]); # streams words to spell to STDOUT by default $speller->parse_from_filehandle( $myfh ); # again to STDOUT $speller->set_output_file('out.txt'); $speller->parse_from_file(q[Foo.pm]); # Now writes to out.txt my $str; $speller->set_output_string($str); $speller->parse_from_file(q[Foo.pm]); # Now writes to $str METHODS "new" ->new( stopwords => A Pod::Wordlist instance output_filehandle => A IO Handle ( default is STDOUT ) ) "output_filehandle" The file handle to write to.
