NAME

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

VERSION

version 0.001000

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.
