  1. I've added an --ifdb-only parameter, so I can run the script without access to the IFComp production DB
  2. To actually fix the script in production, I've added a custom User-Agent header.
    IFDB sits behind Cloudflare, which rejects the default libwww-perl User-Agent with error 1010.

Allows testing IFDB lookups for a given year without connecting to the production IFComp database or updating entry records.
