in reply to Perl spell checker

Sorry...clarification. I will check for Mr. Blah Blah and replace it with Mr. XXXX XXXXX. Then I will run it through a spell check and replace any words not in the dictionary....such as Jane Drewey would get XXXXX XXXXXXX. Hope this makes more sense.

    I hope you don't have anything talking about people named `Smith', or `Wheeler', or even `Fletcher'. You probably want to see if it's not in the dictionary and/or if it's capitalized in the middle of the sentence. Also you'd have to watch carefully for acronyms that might not be all caps (e.g. `tcp socket', `nfs mount').
