Hello, monks I was thinking about writing a download counter when someone suggested that I use the CGI.pm module to do it.

I was just wondering how I would convert this using CGI.pm I thought the CGI.pm module was for just doing HTML output type stuff?? My question is: How would I start writing a download counter using CGI.pm

$File = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'};
if ($File =~ /\//) { ($File) = $File =~ /^.*\/([^\/]+)$/g; }
$DownloadFile = "$DownloadFileDir/$File"; 
open (CNT,"+<$Counter") || &endIt;
flock (CNT,2); 
seek (CNT,0,0);
@infile = <CNT>;
[download]

are there any flaws in the code above?
