Yay! Although I have seen scripts floating around which don't set the
user-agent, but use wget:

   *** WARNING: I /WILL/ BLOCK THESE SCRAPERS. USING WGET, IT IS 
       TRIVIAL TO FOLLOW THE RULES. NOT DOING SO IS A COMMENT ON
       HOW YOU VALUE YOUR TIME COMPARED WITH MINE... ***

Not that anyone monitoring this list would fall in to that category ;-)

Yes, it is. Under the Artistic Licence. Unfortunately the source code
link doesn't seem to be on the front page (which needs a revamp,
suggestions welcome). The framework code can be download here:

Documentation needs improving; volunteers?

Cheers,

Andrew
