I helped implement a spell-checking system for a customer that was pure mod_perl. In the end, though, a fairly sharp JavaScripter helped make my somewhat-kludgy solution fairly elegant by popping up a window, calling my stuff to replace misspelled words, then resetting the original text with what was left in the pop-up when done checking (or the user aborted). It wasn't that bad, but I'm glad I didn't have to write the JavaScript. ky
