Printing your webpage is much better using a HEREDOC e.g 

close(LOGFILE);

open(WEBPAGE,">",$webPage);
$tm = strftime( "%d/%m/%Y", localtime());
 

    print WEBPAGE <<EOF; 
<head><title>Access Counts</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1> today is: $tm</h1>
<h3>Yesterday was $yesterday</h3>
<table border="1" cellpadding="10" width='500px'>
<h2>Total hits: $totalhits</h2>
<h3>Hits Yesterday: $yesterdayHits</h3>
$rows
</table></p>
</body>
</html>
EOF

close( WEBPAGE);

Also please use CSS to format your table layout, keep html tags lowercase; Uppercase is *so* 1995 ;-). I could go on but one of your future tasks is obviously to learn about good HTML presentation and layout.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
