Author Web Form Spell Checker

Hi All,

I've been trying to find a web form spelling checker written in perl
but have yet to come across a good working example. It would seem to me
that this has probably already been done, but I just can't seem to find
one. I found some stuff that uses "aspell" and "ispell", but I doubt
that I can get those to install on my virtual web server. I also found
"Net::Google" on CPAN, but I had a hard time coming across an example
CGI perl script that checks spelling on web forms. I finally found an
example perl shell script from John Bokma that uses "Net::Google" and
used that as a starting point to work from.

So far I have a simple CGI script that checks spelling on the first 10
words of a single form field.

I thought I'd post it here for reference sake, but if anyone has
anything else, or something that they know of, I'd be thrilled to take
a look at it.

Also, if anyone is interested in working on making this more flexible
and dynamic than what I've got so far, I'd sure welcome the help.

Kindest Regards,

Bill Stephenson
