Schmozilla/v9.14 Platinum ... Whats this?

I'm starting see alot of this in my logs across several domains. Any clue what this is? good bot? site sucker?

I get this after tracing:

Tracing route to 66-17-15-138.biz.bkfd.arrival.net [66.17.15.138]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

After a search, seems it copied from "Perl Cookbook, specifically Fetching a URL from a Perl Script (recipe 20.1):

$ua->agent("Schmozilla/v9.14 Platinum"); # give it time, it'll get there
my req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $url);
$req->referer("http://wizard.yellowbrick.oz"); # perplex the log analyzers"

Is some silly coder using this as a bot to check links.

I'm this close ---> <---- to banning it.

I saw it couple of days ago too. I couldn't figure out what it was either. But it wasn't that many requests so I didn't bother about it.

I think someone is using it as a site sucker. But, I want to give a while to see if anyone owns up to coding their link bot with it. I'd hate to shoot myself in the foot and get my domains banned lol

If it doesn't use much of your bw, it's a lot easier to just drop it and go to the next thing on your todo list
