By "works perfect" I assume you mean autoconf doing its usual thing of
ignoring unknown options entirely.

 --enable-ssl was replaced a while ago  by --with-openssl (note the
single '-').

 --with-open-ssl has never existed.


--with-openssl does take a "=PATH" optional component. However it is the
base path under which openssl was installed (/usr/...). Not the path to
a system configuration file (/etc/...).
On Debian if you are using the system OpenSSL *-dev package then you can
omit the PATH part and Squid will find the bits it needs automatically.

The authoritative info on configure options for any given Squid release
is provided by "./configure --help".
