Why the following code does upadte the visitors hostname in the database bu instead it adds a new row for the same visitor?
What am i missing here?
cookies are setuped correctly though likek this: 
%cookie = fetch CGI::Cookie if $ENV{HTTP_COOKIE};
$cookie1 = cookie( -name=>"host",   -value=>$host,            -expires
+=>"+7d" );
$cookie2 = cookie( -name=>"xronos", -value=>$xronos,          -expires
+=>"+7d" );
$cookie3 = cookie( -name=>"visits", -value=>cookie(visits)+1, -expires
+=>"+7d" );

if ( $ENV{HTTP_COOKIE} ) {
   $st = $db->prepare( 'SELECT * FROM logs' );
   $st->execute();

   while ( $row = $st->fetchrow_hashref ) {
      if ( cookie(host) eq $row->{host} ) {
         $db->do( "UPDATE logs SET visits=visits+1 WHERE host='cookie(
+host)'" ) or die $db->errstr;
      }
   }
}
elsif ( !$ENV{HTTP_COOKIE} ) {
   $db->do( "INSERT INTO logs VALUES (NULL, '$host', '$xronos', '$file
+', 1)" ) or die $db->errstr;
}
