I wrote this small perl code to count the visitors in my web page, I have placed it in Apache directory`s cgi-bin folder, but everything (SSI commands, XTML) is working except the perl part, it doesn`t even show up, for perl section "an error occured while processing this directive" appears, could you check the below code and tell me where I went wrong?
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Program to track the number of times
# a Web page has been accessed.
use CGI qw( :standard );
open( COUNTREAD, "counter.dat" );
$data = <COUNTREAD>;
$data++;
close( COUNTREAD );
open( COUNTWRITE, ">counter.dat" );
print( COUNTWRITE $data );
close( COUNTWRITE );
print( header(), "<div style = \"text-align: center;
font-weight: bold\">" );
print( "You are visitor number", br() );
for ( $count = 0; $count < length( $data ); $count++ ) {
$number = substr( $data, $count, 1 );
print( { $number }, "\n" );
}
I appreciate it...

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).

are good places to start.
