Here's a basic C example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

#define INPUTSIZE 256

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

  char input[INPUTSIZE];
  char *cp;
  struct tm *local;
  time_t t;
  int year;

  while (fgets(input, sizeof(input), stdin)) {
    t = time(NULL);
    local = localtime(&t);
    year = local->tm_year + 1900;
    if (year < 2008) { printf("ERR\n"); } else { printf("OK\n"); }
    fflush(stdout);
  }

}

PS: I put a "small" INPUTSIZE and do not check for overflow...
