Fun little problem. Here's another entry in my "The only data structure needed is a multi-line string" collection.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict; # https://perlmonks.org/?node_id=11148831
use warnings;
sub quarterturn
{
my $new = '';
$new .= "\n" while s/.$/ $new .= $&; '' /gem;
return $new;
}
my $forest = do { local (@ARGV, $/) = 'input8.txt'; <> };
my $visible = '';
for ( 0 .. 3 )
{
$visible |= $forest =~ s{(.)(?=(.*))}{ $2 =~ /[$1-9]/ ^ 1 }ger;
$_ = quarterturn for $forest, $visible;
}
my $totalvisible = $visible =~ tr/1//; # count ones
print "$forest\n$visible\ntotal visible: $totalvisible\n";

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
