[squid-users] Proxy Script Error

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a proxy server with upsidedownternet
(http://www.ex-parrot.com/pete/upside-down-ternet.html) running, and
I'm having a bit of trouble.

After much struggling, I have squid up and running fine and
successfully using it as a proxy for one of my computers. I'm using
part of a HowTo (located here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Upside-Down-TernetHowTo) to get
upsidedownternet to work. As soon as I add the "url_rewrite_program
/usr/local/bin/flip.pl" command, squid fails to start. If I comment
out that line, it starts fine. I have attached data below from the
cache.log from trying to start squid in hopes that someone can point
me in the right direction.

Squid version 2.7
Ubuntu Server 9.04
