What I am really trying to do is to write an application that will allow me to complex analyses of the efficiency of the squid cache after changes are made to the squid configs or to the web server configs. And, I am more interested in writing my own app than using one that already exists. I really just wanted a way to get the squid performance data without using SNMP and thought that it might be possible to do it the same way as the cachemgr application does. As I have explored more it seems that the cachemgr functionality is actually built into the squid application and the cachemgr perl script is just a proxy to show the data in a web browser. So, it seems that there is no raw data access via any technique other than SNMP.
