NAME

       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 = WWW::RobotRules::AnyDBM_File->new( 'my-robot/1.0', 'cachefile' );
        my $ua = WWW::RobotUA->new( '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.
