This is bad way.Using pipe is expensive at most time.You can do all
the things in a perl script.If you have problems on perl
programming,many guys can help you (including me).

Some of our squid hosts are also running redirector,they run 64 childs
or more,didn't see bad things happened.So I think this number is based
on the request queue on squid,if this queue is too large,you can see
the warnings info in cache.log and you need to improve the redirector
childs number.

Good luck.
