[squid-users] Need help with Squid on Windows

Hello Yuri and all,

I would then try the process monitor that will most probably give an answer why the perl exe helper does not start. 

Best regards,
Rafael

Raf,

I can confirm - perl helpers (I've tried to use store-ID with Active
Perl) does not work with Win version of Squid. I've tried to configure it several times. Without success. With the same symptoms.

WBR, Yuri
