NAME

Tie::Ispell - Ties an hash with an ispell dictionary

VERSION

Version 0.08

ABSTRACT

This module implements a way to deal with ispell dictionaries using a hash. It tries to work also with aspell.

SYNOPSIS

use Tie::Ispell;

tie %dict, 'Tie::Ispell', "english";

if ($dict{dog}) {
  print "dog is a word"
}

if (exists($dict{dog})) {
  print "dog is a word"
}

$dict{foo} = "now is a word :-)";




# using nearmisses feature

tie %dict, 'Tie::Ispell', "english", 1;

if (exists($dict{dog})) {
  print "dog is a word"
}

if ($x = $dict{doj}) {
   if (ref($x) eq "ARRAY") {
     # doj is not a word, but I have a list of nearmisses
     @nearmisses = @$x;
   } else {
     # doj is a word
   }
}

FUNCTIONS

TIEHASH

Used for the tie method. Use tie as:

tie %dic, 'Tie::Ispell', 'dictionaryname';

If you want to have access to nearmisses, use

tie %dic, 'Tie::Ispell', 'dictionaryname', 1;

FETCH

Fetches a word from the ispell dictionary

$dic{dogs} # returns dog
$dic{dog}  # returns dog
$dic{doj}  # returns undef

If you tied-up with nearmisses,

$dic{dogs} # returns dog
$dic{dog}  # returns dog
$dic{doj}  # returns a reference for a list of near misses

EXISTS

Checks if a word exists on the dictionary. Works in the same way with or without near misses.

exists($dic{dogs})
exists($dic{doj})

STORE

Defines a new word for current session dictionary

$dic{foo} = 1;
