toadi has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Got a big problem.
Got no SSI, php,etc....
Got plain perl-cgi(no mods) and javascript. Now I have to make a website counter(which page is accessed how many times).
Tried to parse the webserver-logs, but they are not logging which webpage is accessed!!!
My creative ideas are dryed out, can smb help me out ???

Use the World's Smallest GIF script to generate a one-pixel
transparent image each time it is called, then add the location
of the script to each page you want to track as an IMG SRC.
Use the $ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'} variable to track which page
the request came from and log it to your own logfile. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |

I've seen this sort of thing before here. If you look
at the following URL
Weblogging
it covers keeping track of people who have logged to a web page. Alternatively, I'm sure you can find this by
searching in the "Search" area. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |

Silly question merlyn, where are those rants about it...?
(found a perl-lover in it and he installed cgi.pm on the solaris, and now I'm getting somewhere)
