Just a little follow-up on this even though its off-topic. It
transpires that suidperl for 5.003 has a security flaw. 5.004 is
unaffected, so that's another very good reason to upgrade to 5.004.

Subject: SOLVED: Error with squid log analysis scripts

Hi all Squidders

I just found the solution to my own problem.

Apparently there was some major enhancement work done to Perl, in the
5.004.01 version, specifically related to the problem of "attempt to
free non-existent shared string .....". So, when I downloaded,
compiled
and installed the latest Perl version 5.004.01, the problem messages
went away. Perhaps people using earlier versions of Perl (my problem
was originally with the 5.003.01 version), which didn't have such
broken
functionality never even saw these messages. I'm assuming Duane W
was
in this category, because I couldn't imagine him not debugging !!!

So, moral of the story - get Perl 5.004.01 and skip 5.003.01 !!!

Maybe this is worth a comment in the FAQ somewhere ?????? It sure
wasted me a lot of time.

Regards

Jason
