The professional companies do it for everyone, while he'll be doing this for his own small company.
Part of the job of maintaining the list can be done with yet another Perl script that looks at the daily proxy logs and shows only the new URLs (the already seen ones being split between black and white list) and lets one decide which list they belong to. After the first few painful weeks, you'd only get a few new sites a day, most of them probably harmless. Having a starting point for the black list would surely help.
Using Regexp::Assemble could probably boost the black/white list performance.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
