Hi
I've always had a hard time figuring out how you pass values to a module, when your using a module that depend on others that you need to tincker with.

An example is now when im playing around with WWW::RobotRules.
This module uses LWP::Simple for its requests (i think), and I want to pass a timeout => '2' to LWP::Simple, but all I have in my code is things evolving around the main module, robotrules.

Example;
require WWW::RobotRules;
my $user_agent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0)";
my $robotsrules = new WWW::RobotRules '$user_agent';
.....
$robotsrules->parse($url, $robots_txt);
if($robotsrules->allowed($url)){
}

Just to make it clear, I know how to read the docs for LWP::Simple ;), ... its jut a matter of how to I access this layer, since robotrules has precidence.
