Hi,
Sorry to have to ask what may be a stupid question but I was hoping someone might be able to help me work out why I can't add something to my ispell dictionary using Lingua::Ispell add_word(word) or add_word_lc(word)? I've read through all the documentation I can find for both ispell and Lingua::Ispell but still it does not add the value to the dictionary as the function suggests it should...

Could this be a file permissions problem maybe? I am running this common via a web browser interface, and I have installed ispell as root... could this be the 'root' of the problem?

It also doesn't help that I can't get it to complain if it doesn't work. I.e. add_word($word) or die "Failed to add to dictionary: $!"; does not die, but still does not add to dictionary as far as I can tell!

Thoughts and ideas very welcome.

Thanks,
Tom
