spz d569bd1a17 The Perl 5 module WWW::RobotRules parses /robots.txt files as specified
in "A Standard for Robot Exclusion", at
http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/norobots.htmls

from accessing parts of their web site.

The parsed files are kept in a WWW::RobotRules object, and this object
provides methods to check if access to a given URL is prohibited.
The same WWW::RobotRules object can be used for one or more parsed
