For old articles you should look at the Squid-users-archive and the
searchable squid-users archive. You can find pointers to them on
http://squid.nlanr.net/

I began to write a perl script which (hopefully) do this:

sub cachefile_to_object {
    my $cachefile = hex(shift(@_));
    my $swaplevel1dirs = shift(@_);
    my $swaplevel2dirs = shift(@_);
    my @cachedir = @_;
    return sprintf ("%s/%02X/%02X/%08X",
                    $cachedir[$cachefile % ($#cachedir + 1)],
                    ($cachefile / ($#cachedir + 1)) % $swaplevel1dirs,
                    (($cachefile / ($#cachedir + 1)) / $swaplevel1dirs) % $swaplevel2dirs,
                    $cachefile,
                    );
}

This sub has to be called with something like this:

$object = cachefile_to_object($cache_file,$swap_level1_dirs,$swap_level2_dirs,@cache_dir);

$cachefile is 0008afcc (from your example)
$swap_level1_dirs from your squid.conf (default: 16)
$swap_level2_dirs from your squid.conf (default: 256)
@cache_dir is an array with all your cache-directories as specified
        in your squid.conf

Hope this helps,
