Sure you can. You can use perl, python, shell, smalltalk .... anything that can sit on an io loop. You don't have access to -all- of squids innards any more than you do in apache, but you most certainly can control the behaviour - access control, request rewriting, user identification, bandwidth allocation in perl.
