  Description     : Perl interface to the GNU Aspell library

 This module provides a Perl interface to the GNU Aspell library.
 The GNU Aspell library provides access to system spelling libraries, including a
 spell checker.
 This module is to meet the need of looking up many
 words, one at a time, in a single session.
 .
 This is a perl xs interface which should provide good performance compared
 to forking the aspell program for every word.
 .
 For example, a tiny run of about 400 word lookups resulted in:
 .
 aspell-fast: 18.44 seconds
 pspell-fast:  0.63 seconds
