Tonight I found a new bot using the UA of libwww-perl/5.63 from a data acquisition service. It seems it may be someone using the service to keep tabs on changes to my site. I'm going to disallow this IP. Any thoughts?

Here's what came up in the logs:

Hi Falcon, that UA could come from anyone who uses perl. It is a variant of the default UA for a very popular perl module LWP.
