Yep: it has a perl interface.

http://search.cpan.org/~hank/Text-Aspell/

The interface allows you to feed Aspell a word, return suggestions,
and so forth. So you'll need to write wrapper code to split your
document into individual words, then pass them off to Aspell, but once
you've done that you can make a list, etc. I've been looking at it as
a way to do a first-pass cleanup of muddy OCR output.

Regards,

Paul
