I know this has nothing to do with FreeBSD, Just wondered if any others
have experienced this.  

I notice quite a lot of user nobody perl activity on one of my servers,
and set about to find where it was coming from.  I quickly discovered that
one of my virtual hosting clients was running "betsie-1.5.pl".  This is a
script developed by the BBC to convert normal (image filled) html
documents to a more simple text based page.  I don't have any problem with
the concept, however I also discovered that it was being used to do all of
the parsing work for a group of web robots owned by "googlebot.com".

Any comments would be appreciated,
