in reply to About lwp::useragent

Didn't run the code, but i did spot one glaring issue right away:

Mozilla/4.73 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.2.16 i686; Nav)

If you access one of my sites with that completely outdated and suspicious useragent string, there are two possibilities: Either one of my security scripts will go "Huh, outdated spam bot? I better Firewall that IP" or it will mark that string for manual review and i will go "Wow, haven't seen that one since the the 90's! Firewallbot, make that go away!"

perl -e 'use Crypt::Digest::SHA256 qw[sha256_hex]; print substr(sha256_hex("the Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything"), 6, 2), "\n";'
