I am very new to perl, Ok, I know nothing.
Although I am wondering if you did something like
if (Remote_host NotEqual LastRemote_host) {
LastRemote_host==env{remote_host};
Counter++;
Open counter_File;
Update counter_File(Counter,,, blah i have no idea);
Close counter_File;
}
Or something... I am just wondering if this is remotely a valid idea.
