You build from source?  In the 'src' directory of the distribution (for 
mine it is /usr/local/src/squid-2.5.STABLE5/src/) you'll find cachemgr.cgi. 
Throw that in your cgibin directory of your apache server and they go to 
it.  You'll find ALL kinds of stats there.  Most of which I don't have a 
clue how to use.  The ones I pulled up come from the General Runtime 
Information page.  Here's the top level page of cachemgr.cgi:

Memory Utilization
Callback Data Registry Contents
Event Queue
Current Squid Configuration (hidden).
comm_incoming() stats
IP Cache Stats and Contents
FQDN Cache Stats and Contents
Internal DNS Statistics

Shut Down the Squid Process (hidden).
Toggle offline_mode setting (hidden).
