I am looking at writing a spell checker in Perl and was wondering,
since the english language has not changed much in 30 years, if there
are any CP/M spell checkers out there with source I could look at for
code clues / algorythms, since any CP/M code had to be (or should have
been) fast and compact.

Not that this matters much but I would disagree with your claim that
the "English language has not changed much in the last 30 years."
In Dr. Dobb's Journal, Number 66, April 1982 Alan Bomberger wrote "A
Poor Person's Spelling Checker" on pages 42-53. The article contains
source code in Z80 assembler. I have paper copy of this article. If
you are interested, I could scan it and send it to you. A CP/M library
file which has documentation and executables is at
http://www.retroarchive.org/cpm/cdrom/ZSYS/ZNODE-12/I/PMSPELL.LBR. The
source code for the spell checker is NOT in this library. If you were
really interested in getting the source code to the spell checker
you'd have to run OCR software against the article and then do the
usual edits to get it to assemble.
