Title: database of robots.txt-derived permissions

Description:
This module parses _/robots.txt_ files as specified in "A Standard for
Robot Exclusion", at <http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/norobots.html> Webmasters
can use the _/robots.txt_ file to forbid conforming robots 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 _/robots.txt_
files on any number of hosts.

The following methods are provided:

* $rules = WWW::RobotRules->new($robot_name)

This is the constructor for WWW::RobotRules objects. The first argument
given to new() is the name of the robot.

* $rules->parse($robot_txt_url, $content, $fresh_until)

The parse() method takes as arguments the URL that was used to retrieve
the _/robots.txt_ file, and the contents of the file.

* $rules->allowed($uri)

Returns TRUE if this robot is allowed to retrieve this URL.

* $rules->agent([$name])

Get/set the agent name. NOTE: Changing the agent name will clear the
robots.txt rules and expire times out of the cache.
