yet another way (not necessarily the best) would be Cache::FileCache (useful for many other things such as caching database query results). One downside (or upside) is you don't (readily--i think it throws it under /tmp/ somewhere) have the filename, so can't do "cat counter.txt" to check it.
use Cache::FileCache;
my $cache = new Cache::FileCache( { namespace=>"my_program", auto_pu
+rge_on_get=>1 } );
my $cacheKey = 'ct';
my $value = $cache->get( $cacheKey ) || 0;
$value++;
$cache->set( $cacheKey, $value, $EXPIRES_NEVER );

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).
