WWW::RobotRules::AnyDBM_File - Persistent RobotRules
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);
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.
