Hi Alan,

It may be overkill for what you are doing, but the CGI module does a great job with this kind of work.

I'm a little confused by your top line, #!/perl/bin/perl.exe; are you running this on a Windows system?

Here's some small additions to niceify your code:

use strict;
use warnings;

my $counter;

open FILE, "visit.txt" or die "Screwed it up...Can't open for read: $!
+\n;
$counter = <FILE>;
close FILE;

$counter++;

open FILE, ">visit.txt" or die "Screwed it up...Can't open for write: 
+$!\n";
print FILE $counter;
close FILE;

That should give you some better debugging options.

Cheers,
