:))) thanks rdfield I can read the file now, BUT I CAN NOT WRITE TO IT. Full code below, it is the simplest CGI counter: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

$number_of_digits = "6";
######################

open (COUNTING, "< D:/StronyKlientow/cematsil.bptnet.pl/main/Alicja/pe
+rl/counter.txt")||die"can not open";
$count = <COUNTING>;
close (COUNTING);

$count ++;

print ("Content-type: text/html\n\n");
print "<HTML><BODY BGCOLOR=lightblue><TABLE ALIGN=center BORDER=0>\n\n
+";
print "<TR><TD ALIGN=Center VALIGN=top>\n\n";
@digits = split(//, $count);
# Give empty digits a value
$spline = '%0' . $number_of_digits . 'd';
$count = sprintf("$spline", $count);
@digitimages = split(//, $count);

foreach $digitimage (@digitimages) {
 $image = "<img src=\"../obrazki/" . "$digitimage" . ".gif\" VSPACE=0>
+";
 print ("$image");
}
print "\n";
print "</TD></TR></TABLE>\n</BODY></HTML>\n\n";
open (COUNTER, "> D:/StronyKlientow/cematsil.bptnet.pl/main/Alicja/per
+l/counter.txt")||die"can not open!\n";
print COUNTER ("$count");
close (COUNTER);
exit;
