  Description     : database of robots.txt-derived permissions

WWW::RobotRules 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.
