    i have written a small external helper in perl and it seems to do the trick.

--------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/microperl

while (<STDIN>) {

        ($second, $minute, $hour, $dayOfMonth, $month, $yearOffset, $dayOfWeek, $dayOfYear, $daylightSavings) = localtime();
        $year =3D 1900 + $yearOffset;

        if ($year < 2008) {
                print "ERR\n";
        } else {
                print "OK\n";
        }
}
--------------------------------

    i know perl isnt the most optimized language .... but as the= external acl is started on squid startup and keeps running until squid exits, i dont think that will be a problem.

    anyway, i would love to see something similar in C that could be compiled and run with less memory than perl requires .... unfortunelly i cant code even a 'hello world' in C !!! But i'll try that ..... shouldnt be too difficult.
