For graphical counter I'd recommend:
http://www.fccc.edu/users/muquit/Count.html
 
For a perl script to use if you do get the exec:
#!/usr/bin/perl
open (COUNT, "countfile");   # open "countf" counter file
$counter = <COUNT>;          # input value from file
close (COUNT);               # close file (primarily to "re-set")
open (COUNT, ">countfile");  # open "countf" for 'output'
print COUNT +($counter+1);   # increment value of counter by one & write
close (COUNT);               # close file
print $counter;              # put the value on the page
 
Enjoy
