...perl and i don't know how to? bring the output into a html page. Below is the perl code. I tried some times for this output. Please give the correct alternate coding to display the output of this program into an html page. CODING::::
------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
print "Content-Type: text/html\r\n\r\n";
open(display,"+<home_page.txt");
$show = <display>;
++$show;
seek(display,0,0);
print display $show;
close display;
print $show;
---------------------------------------
THANKS IN ADVANCE
 
The easiest way is to include it the output of the counter program within an iFrame in your page:

<iframe width="100" height="40" id="counter" src="/cgi-bin/counter"></iframe>

(Change height and width to suit. Anything between the tags will be displayed in really ancient browsers that don't support iframes -- if anybody is still using those browsers in real life anymore.)

A more elaborate way involves having your script generate not text, but an image -- then you can call it up with an <img /> tag. For this to work, you will probably need an additional Perl module to interface to some library like GD or ImageMagick -- search and read the docs.
 
There are four points to my answer.
1. You forgot "use strict;"
2. You forgot "use warnings;"
3. Please use the CGI module.
4. Please use the File::CounterFile module.

AFTER YOU DO ALL THESE, ask again if it doesn't work. DO NOT REINVENT THE WHEEL
