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 = 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 Any
DBM_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.
