I can live with that.
I'll change it unless anyone shouts.
Has a consensus been reached about other module names (HTTP::* etc)?

The method call syntax should be either
new Class @args;
or
Class->new(@args);
but
new Class(@args);
is potentially ambiguous since Class() looks like a function call.
I can't comment on the interface since I don't know anything
about robots.
