Hi Amos,

Feel free to include it in Squid using the GPLv2 license, that would
be an honor.

But I just noticed it is missing a $|=1 to prevent Perl's output buffering.

And in order to make the DB less Perl-centric, I wrote an alternative
version that you can see here:

http://pastebin.ca/2422099

The other version had Perl code in the DB, which can be quite
powerful, but less language independent. Which one is better? I guess
it depends more or less on what kind of things we will see in the DB.

This new version uses a DB that looks like this:

Best regards,

Alan
