Even better would be something like Pod::Spellchecker. I've started the

Things would be simple if it could just spell-check everything, but I
want it to be able to skip verbatim blocks, things in C<>, and so on.

It's not an especially tough problem, just not as fun for me as other

Happily, this problem has already been solved! See Test::Spelling. Note that it requires an external checker like aspell.

Here's what we use in Perl::Critic:
