## 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', '<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.
