Bug #35321 for Text-Aspell: Trying to get Text::Aspell work with french dictionaries

Hi, I've installed Aspell and Text::Aspell from source on a Windows Perl environment. I've also installed english and french dictionaries. I can run the 'aspell' command with --lang=en or --lang=fr and it works. The command can find the correct dictionaries. But when I try Text::Aspell, the Perl script only works if I set_option('lang', 'en') and I can use the english dictionaries, but when I try to replace the lang option with 'fr', the $speller->check() always returns undef for every word, even correct french words, and I get an array with two empty array for suggestions. I have no idea what is going on. I even looked at the code for Text::Aspell and couldn't find any valid reason for this problem. Can someone give me an idea as to what can be happening. Thanks, Nelson
