As podmaster put's it, you have misunderstood some things about browsers, HTML and HTTP. You should make an html page which refers to you counter image like any other image. This could serve as a very simple (and untested) example:

First, the HTML page:

<html>
  <head>
   <title>Test page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <H1>My test page</H1>
    My counter below:<BR>
    <IMG SRC="/cgi-bin/my-count.pl">
  </body>
</html>
[download]

And now, my-count.pl

#!C:\Progra~1\Perl\bin\perl

use CGI;
$co=new CGI;
print $co->header(-type=>'image/jpeg');

$size = stat("counter.jpg")[7];
open (FILEHANDLE,"<counter.jpg");
read FILEHANDLE,$imagedata,$size;
close FILEHANDLE;
[download]

And then you replace my-count.pl with something that actually counts.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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.
