DESCRIPTION

This is a subclass of WWW::RobotRules that uses the DB_File package to implement disk caching of robots.txt.

METHODS

This is a subclass of WWW::RobotRules, so it implements the same methods

$rules = WWW::RobotRules::DB_File->new('my-robot/1.0', /path/cachefile)

This is the constructor. The only difference from the original constructor from WWW::RobotRules is that you here has to specify a cache file as well.
