perl-Pod-Spell

Formatter for spellchecking Pod

Pod::Spell is a Pod formatter whose output is good for spellchecking. Pod::Spell rather like Pod::Text, except that it doesn't put much effort into actual formatting, and it suppresses things that look like Perl symbols or Perl jargon (so that your spellchecking program won't complain about mystery words like "'$thing'" or "'Foo::Bar'" or "hashref"). This class provides no new public methods. All methods of interest are inherited from Pod::Parser (which see). The especially interesting ones are 'parse_from_filehandle' (which without arguments takes from STDIN and sends to STDOUT) and 'parse_from_file'. But you can probably just make do with the examples in the synopsis though. This class works by filtering out words that look like Perl or any form of computerese (like "'$thing'" or "'N>7'" or "'@{$foo}{'bar','baz'}'", anything in C<...> or F<...> codes, anything in verbatim paragraphs (code blocks), and anything in the stopword list. The default stopword list for a document starts out from the stopword list defined by Pod::Wordlist, and can be supplemented (on a per-document basis) by having '"=for stopwords"' / '"=for :stopwords"' region(s) in a document.
