WWW::RobotRules::AnyDBM_File - Persistent RobotRules

SYNOPSIS

        require WWW::RobotRules::AnyDBM_File;
        require LWP::RobotUA;

        # Create a robot useragent that uses a diskcaching RobotRules
        my $rules = new WWW::RobotRules::AnyDBM_File 'my-robot/1.0', 'cachefile';
        my $ua = new WWW::RobotUA 'my-robot/1.0', 'me@foo.com', $rules;

        # Then just use $ua as usual
        $res = $ua->request($req);

DESCRIPTION

       This is a subclass of WWW::RobotRules that uses the
       AnyDBM_File package to implement persistent diskcaching of
       robots.txt and host visit information.

       The constructor (the new() method) takes an extra argument
       specifying the name of the DBM file to use.  If the DBM
       file already exists, then you can specify undef as agent
       name as the name can be obtained from the DBM database.
