.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This is a subclass of \fIWWW::RobotRules\fR that uses the AnyDBM_File
package to implement persistent diskcaching of \fIrobots.txt\fR and host
visit information.
.PP
The constructor (the \fBnew()\fR method) takes an extra argument specifying
the name of the \s-1DBM\s0 file to use. If the \s-1DBM\s0 file already exists, then
you can specify undef as agent name as the name can be obtained from
the \s-1DBM\s0 database.
