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', 'meATfoo.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.
