A quote from another forum posting about it....

but if I recall, this is from an example in the Perl Cookbook from O'Reilly Press.

The example is a perl script to read the content of a web page. Perl allows you to write a program that pretends to be a web browser, controlling even the User Agent that you appear to be. It's an easy way to write a spider.

The 'Schmozilla' User Agent and wizard.yellowbrick.oz referer is verbatim from the example.

Quite simply, someone took this example used it to spider your site. There's no way to know what they're doing with it, though, unless it's obvious from the website at the domain for that IP.
