That's probably a quick solution, but not necessarily a
good idea. Below is header for counter.pl. While the script
is widely used, it is eight years old and has not been
updated in more than seven years. It teaches new perl
programmers (the focus of this list) some very poor habits.
I would not recommend it for a beginner perl programmer.
