NAME

Comment::Spell::Check - Check words from Comment::Spell vs a system spell checker.

VERSION

version 0.002002

OVERVIEW

This module is similar to Test::Spelling and Pod::Spell, except it uses Comment::Spell, and is more oriented for use as a library, that could be used to write a test.

It also does something neither Test::Spelling or Pod::Spell presently can do: report line numbers and per-line error counts for each source file read.

# Spelling report to STDOUT by default
perl -MComment::Spell::Check -E'Comment::Spell::Check->new->parse_from_file(q[Foo.pm])'

# Advanced Usage

my $speller = Comment::Spell::Check->new(
  spell_command_exec => 'aspell'  # override auto-detected default spelling engine
  spell_command_args => [ '--lang=en_GB' ], # pass additional commands to spell checker
);

my $buf;
$speller->set_output_string($buf);
my $result = $speller->parse_from_file("path/to/File.pm");
# $buf now contains report
# $result contains structured data that could be useful
# Example:
# {
#   'counts' => {
#     'abstraktion' => 4,
#     'bsaic' => 1,
#     'hmubug' => 2,
#     'incpetion' => 1,
#     'kepe' => 1,
#     'ssshtuff' => 1,
#     'thsi' => 1,
#     'tset' => 1,
#     'voreflow' => 1,
#     'warppying' => 1,
#     'wrods' => 1
#   },
#   'fails' => [
#     {
#       'counts' => {
#         'abstraktion' => 1
#       },
#       'line' => 8
#     },
#     {
#       'counts' => {
#         'abstraktion' => 2
#       },
#       'line' => 9
#     },
#     {
#       'counts' => {
#         'abstraktion' => 1,
#         'bsaic' => 1,
#         'hmubug' => 2,
#         'incpetion' => 1,
#         'kepe' => 1,
#         'ssshtuff' => 1,
#         'thsi' => 1,
#         'tset' => 1,
#         'voreflow' => 1,
#         'warppying' => 1,
#         'wrods' => 1
#       },
#       'line' => 10
#     }
#   ]
# }

I may eventually work out how to bolt line number parsing into Pod::Spell family, but at present its hard due to the Pod::Parser underpinnings.
