[squid-users] launch redirector programs in WinXP

I have squid-2.6.STABLE2-NT on WinXP Pro. I took the example perl
script taken from the FAQ section 15.4 and put it in the same
directory as the squid executable. Squid does not launch child
processes of the rewrite program, and squid exits abnormally on the
first request. I wrote a C++ program that executes a busy loop and
squid launches it fine.

in squid.conf:
url_rewrite_program c:/squid/sbin/redirect.pl

Active state perl interpreter at C:/Perl/bin/perl.exe (Is the hash
bang line even used in Windows, or only by the shell interpreters on
UNIX-like OSes?)

How do I configure squid to launch Perl child processes on Windows XP?
I tried calling perl.exe with the script as an argument but could not
find the correct syntax.

Thank you,
Bruce Richards
