I am currently working on a new release which takes the squid meta data
into account... Bug reports to me.

        your_cache $ ~/purge -P 1 -e /somedir/*
        (-P 1 to really purge, and not just list)
        (-e ... some regular expression, can be used multiple times)

purge needs to be run on the cache itself though (needs fs access), so
don't do this during busy hours. To remove objects, -P 1 employs the PURGE
interface provided via HTTP by Squid.
