Hi all I wrote a perl module for creating redirectors for Squid. As the name implies, it was inspired by squidGuard. It aims to be more flexible and to some extent even simpler to use. I was happy with squidGuard and used it for years. But sometimes I needed some extra features like the ability to differentiate between users belonging to different groups, or to take decisions based on some external program output, etc. squidGuard did not support this directly, so I had to choose between complicated configurations with tricks to circumvent these limitations, or writing some dedicated redirector. Soon Squid::Guard was born. The module has built-in support for some common tasks performed in Squid redirectors, including: - lookup of domain or url in .db files created from text list files, like squidGuard does. Expression files are also supported. - lookup of user in UNIX or winbind (SaMBa, Windows) groups I consider the module beta, and certain features were just briefly tested at the moment. But I use it in some production environments without problems. Maybe others can be interested in it. It can be found on CPAN, the link to the current version is http://search.cpan.org/~lux/Squid-Guard-0.11/ .
