Probably my fault cause I must be doing something dumb can't seem to find it. I want to count the number of times a file is restarted, this is to do some basic logging on attempts to automate a process, problem is only one value is being recorded in my file counter.txt, I also want errors to be logged if they occur 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use win32::OLE qw(in);

$search="Vuser Terminated";

open(INFO, "E:\\Mibor_TimingTest\\Mibor\\output.txt");
@array=<INFO>;
close (INFO);
foreach $line(@array){
if ($line =~ /$search/)
{
print "found $line";
$i=1;
open(COUNT, ">>","c:\\perl\\scripts\\counter.txt")|| die "I cannot ope
+n the file";
print (COUNT "$i");

@array2=<COUNT>;
foreach $line(@array2){
if ($line)
{
print (COUNT "$i++");
close(COUNT);
}

else
{
print "$line \n";
}
}



run_code;
my $error = run_code('c:\\perl\\scripts\\killp.pl');
print "Run code failed, err msg:\n$error" if $error;
#
# add error handling code here for if vugen fails to die..
#
#
#
sub run_code {
    $path="c:\\perl\\scripts";
    my $path = shift;
    open(CODE, $path) || return "Oops: $path $!\n";
    local $/;    
    my $code = <CODE>;
    eval $code;
  return $@;
}
}

}
