=head1 NAME

WWW::RobotRules - database of robots.txt-derived permissions

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use WWW::RobotRules;
 my $rules = WWW::RobotRules->new('MOMspider/1.0');

use LWP::Simple qw(get);

{
   my $url = "http://some.place/robots.txt";
   my $robots_txt = get $url;
   $rules->parse($url, $robots_txt) if defined $robots_txt;
 }

{
   my $url = "http://some.other.place/robots.txt";
   my $robots_txt = get $url;
   $rules->parse($url, $robots_txt) if defined $robots_txt;
 }

# Now we can check if a URL is valid for those servers
 # whose "robots.txt" files we've gotten and parsed:
 if($rules->allowed($url)) {
     $c = get $url;
     ...
 }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

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

The following methods are provided:

=over 4

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

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

=item $rules->parse($robot_txt_url, $content, $fresh_until)

The parse() method takes as arguments the URL that was used to
retrieve the F</robots.txt> file, and the contents of the file.

=item $rules->allowed($uri)

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

=item $rules->agent([$name])

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

=back

=head1 ROBOTS.TXT

The format and semantics of the "/robots.txt" file are as follows
(this is an edited abstract of
<http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/norobots.html>):

The file consists of one or more records separated by one or more
blank lines. Each record contains lines of the form

<field-name>: <value>

The field name is case insensitive.  Text after the '#' character on a
line is ignored during parsing.  This is used for comments.  The
following <field-names> can be used:

=over 3

=item User-Agent

The value of this field is the name of the robot the record is
describing access policy for.  If more than one I<User-Agent> field is
present the record describes an identical access policy for more than
one robot. At least one field needs to be present per record.  If the
value is '*', the record describes the default access policy for any
robot that has not not matched any of the other records.

The I<User-Agent> fields must occur before the I<Disallow> fields.  If a
record contains a I<User-Agent> field after a I<Disallow> field, that
constitutes a malformed record.  This parser will assume that a blank
line should have been placed before that I<User-Agent> field, and will
break the record into two.  All the fields before the I<User-Agent> field
will constitute a record, and the I<User-Agent> field will be the first
field in a new record.

=item Disallow

The value of this field specifies a partial URL that is not to be
visited. This can be a full path, or a partial path; any URL that
starts with this value will not be retrieved

=back

Unrecognized records are ignored.

=head1 ROBOTS.TXT EXAMPLES

The following example "/robots.txt" file specifies that no robots
should visit any URL starting with "/cyberworld/map/" or "/tmp/":

User-agent: *
  Disallow: /cyberworld/map/ # This is an infinite virtual URL space
  Disallow: /tmp/ # these will soon disappear

This example "/robots.txt" file specifies that no robots should visit
any URL starting with "/cyberworld/map/", except the robot called
"cybermapper":

User-agent: *
  Disallow: /cyberworld/map/ # This is an infinite virtual URL space

# Cybermapper knows where to go.
  User-agent: cybermapper
  Disallow:

This example indicates that no robots should visit this site further:

# go away
  User-agent: *
  Disallow: /

This is an example of a malformed robots.txt file.

# robots.txt for ancientcastle.example.com
  # I've locked myself away.
  User-agent: *
  Disallow: /
  # The castle is your home now, so you can go anywhere you like.
  User-agent: Belle
  Disallow: /west-wing/ # except the west wing!
  # It's good to be the Prince...
  User-agent: Beast
  Disallow:

This file is missing the required blank lines between records.
However, the intention is clear.
