WWW::RobotRules::AnyDBM_File(3)      User Contributed Perl Documentation     WWW::RobotRules::AnyDBM_File(3)



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 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.
