Uh? Unless you fancy people trying to run "squid" as a cgi-bin, I would
heartily recommend against this.

Put it in the cgi-bin directory. cgi applications should always be stored in
a separate directory, devoid of any kind of system binary that could
conceivably be abused in an attempt to compromise the security of your
system.
