Hi,

I have a file of several million words, 80% of which are misspelled
(i.e. non-words) and 20% of which are spelled correctly.  I would like
to write a short script to read in this file and output only the
correctly spelled words.  

Since I'm on Unix, I could just use something like `spell` to spit out
all the misspelled words in a more or less reasonable amount of time,
but getting the _correctly_ spelled words seems to be a more difficult
task (unless there's some command line option to `spell` that I don't 
know about).

It seems like it would take some time to invoke `spell` on each of a
few million words.  So does anybody know of a Perl utility to check
the local dictionary files more quickly?

Thanks,
Dan
