It's ok if you don't want to use CGI.pm for this simple HTML code
but you still can save yourself from escaping by using alternative
quoting,
print qq(<font color="blue">-(</font><font color="green">$count</font><font
color="blue">)-</font>);

The script is just fine. But for server side include to work there are
other things you need. For Apache, you need to set "Options Includes"
and set that your file is meant to be parsed as SSI page. And I'm not
really comfortable to explain that in this list.
