Just FYI, I'm currently reading Higher-Order Perl and one of the  
examples was a simple robot framework.  The example in the book used  
it to find broken links, among other things.

I mention this because I have it mostly ported.  The version in the  
book obeys /robots.txt and mine doesn't yet, but that's the only  
difference at this point.  (The used a Perl module to handle the  
robot file I can find a Ruby equivalent for.  See this Friday's Ruby  
Quiz...  :D)

Anyway, if it will help, it's all yours.  It'll be on my blog[1] in a  
couple of days, but you can email me privately if you want it before  
then...
