Dear really-really-lazyweb,
Would someone please create a CPAN module that finds a wordlist on the
local computer in a cross-platform friendly manner, a la File::HomeDir?
For typical unix systems, that would be:
sub find_wordlist {
return '/usr/share/dict/words';
}
But it could be smarter and look for, say,
/usr/share/dict/scrabble-english first. For Windows, maybe it would
look for MS Office or OpenOffice files first.
Lucky I wasn't drinking anything when I read this part, otherwise I
would have snorted stuff all over the keyboard. Like, as if an MS Office
dictionary is going to be remotely parseable by anything outside itself.
Oh, and you forgot Lotus Notes .dic files :)
