Re: [squid-users] Squid Hang Problem...

Squid doesn't use perl for anything. But then you're suggesting that
the perl upgrade kills your server entirely at random intervals, not
just Squid.

It just isn't possible for a perl upgrade to damage a bunch of software
that doesn't even use perl. You've got another problem entirely,
possibly faulty hardware.
