The web-service exposes a SOAP interface, including a WSDL description of the service at:

http://ws.cdyne.com/SpellChecker/check.asmx?WSDL

To talk to the service, use SOAP::WSDL.

Something like the following should work (modify as appropriate with license key and real content to be checked):

use strict;
use warnings;
use SOAP::WSDL;
use Data::Dumper;

# config vars
my $tocheck = "you want a test?\nthars ees my boody text";
my $license = '12345yourlicensekey';
my $service = 'http://ws.cdyne.com/SpellChecker/check.asmx';
my $wsdl    = "$service?WSDL";

# initialise the SOAP proxy object
my $soap = SOAP::WSDL->new();
$soap->wsdl($wsdl);
# $soap->on_action(sub { return $_[0].$_[1]; }); # uncomment if you ge
+t a soapfault containing something like 'invalid SOAPAction'.
$soap->proxy($service);
$soap->wsdlinit(caching => 1) 
  || die "couldn't connect to soap service!";

# call the CheckTextBody method exposed by the web-service
my $som = $soap->CheckTextBody(
   BodyText   => $tocheck,
   LicenseKey => $license);

# examine the result returned by the web-service
if ($som->fault) {
  print "REQUEST FAILED!\n\n";
  print "Soap Fault ==> ".$som->faultstring."\n";
} else {
  print "REQUEST SUCCESSFUL!\n\n";
  print Dumper($som->paramsall);
}

It just dumps the returned data-structure, so you'll need to have a look at what it contains to figure out what to do next.

The WSDL formally describes what will be returned in the definition of the DocumentSummary complexType.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
