                print "File passed tests!\n";
        } else {
                print "File failed tests!\n";
                foreach my $k ( keys %$result ) {
                        print " Found: '$k' - Possible spelling: '$result->{$k}'?\n";
                }
        }

DESCRIPTION
This module looks for any typos in your POD. It differs from Pod::Spell or Test::Spelling because it uses a custom wordlist and doesn't use the system spellchecker. The idea for this came from the <http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Lintian> code in Debian, thanks!

To use this, just pass it a filename that has POD in it and you'll get a hashref back. If the hashref is empty that means the checker found no misspelled words. If it contains keys, then the keys are the bad words and the values are the suggested spelling.

METHODS

  check_pod( $filename )
This function is what you will usually run. It will run the spell checks against the POD in $filename. Warning: you would need to catch any exceptions thrown from this function!

It returns a hashref of misspelled words and their suggested spelling. If the hash is empty then there is no errors in the POD.

  check_pod_case( $filename )
This function behaves the same as "check_pod( $filename )" but it uses a "case" wordlist instead. The difference is that this wordlist will make sure you capitalize common terms properly. One example is: OpenLdap => OpenLDAP.

NOTE: This does NOT run the same checks as "check_pod( $filename )"! You would need to use the "check_pod_all( $filename )" function.

  check_pod_all( $filename )
This function behaves the same as "check_pod( $filename )" but it runs all the extra checks too. Currently it's just the case wordlist but others might be added in the future...

EXPORT
You would need to manually get the function you want.
