Subject:

RFE: optionally support hunspell backend

Many Linux distributions are migrating from aspell to hunspell as the default spell checking engine; for instance, RHEL-6 uses hunspell everywhere and will not be shipping any aspell dictionaries. It would be nice then for Text-SpellChecker to support hunspell as an optional backed if possible. There is a Text::Hunspell module available that's based on Text::Aspell but unfortunately the API is a little different so it's a non-trivial port (at least not just a s/Aspell/Hunspell/ type job).

Thanks, looks pretty straightforward, I'll see what I can do.

As of version 0.07, Text::Hunspell will be used if available.

Thanks, that works great. Just one niggle: the test suite fails if Text::Aspell is unavailable. As a workaround I just deleted the SKIP section that checks for the presence of the English dictionary.
