Spell-checking

I'm non-native English, so I'm trying to find ways to improve my docs
(and thus also the spelling of it) in my modules. In that process, I
created (this morning) and used:

--8<--- http://www.xs4all.nl/~hmbrand/pod-spell-check
#!/pro/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Test::More;
use File::Find;
use Pod::Spell::CommonMistakes qw( check_pod );

my @files = @ARGV;
@files or find (sub {
    $File::Find::dir =~ m/\bblib/ and return;
    m/\.pm$/ and push @files, $File::Find::name;
    }, ".");
s{^\./}{} for @files;

foreach my $pm (sort @files) {
    my $result = check_pod ($pm);
    my @keys = keys %$result;

    is (scalar @keys, 0, "$pm");
    @keys or next;

    diag (join "\n", map { "$_\t=> $result->{$_}" } @keys);
    }

done_testing;
-->8---

and found a few typo's in my own modules (and in DBI). Some were quite
funny. Then I thought to run that on perl. Is it OK to start fixing
these for lib/ and ext?
