Marking misspelled words with a script (csh, sh, perl, whatever)

I need a script to "mark" misspelled words in a text file. The script could
use any one of a number of unix utilities, such as awk, c-shell, borne-shell,
or perl. I would like to pass the script several parameters, such as a file
of "local spellings", and the name of the text file to scan. All the script
should do is _MARK_ the misspelled words, (for example, by writting back out
something like <<missspelled>> ) and write the text file _back out_ again,
under the same or a different name.
I posted a request similar to this several months ago, but the responses did
not fit my needs for this task. I will post a summary of the responses I
receive, if I get a sufficient number.
Thanks very much in advance.
