This looks a bit strange:<br><br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier">open (USERCOUNT, $times_been_here_file)
or die ("Cannot open $times_been_here_file. perl reports:
$!");<br>
while (<USERCOUNT>) {<br>
$times_been_here = $_ + 1;<br>
close USERCOUNT;<br>
}#while<br><br>
</font>The open function should have a '<' in front of the filename
(but it should die there the, so maybe that is default?).<br>
The other thing is the close statement inside the while loop, that maybe
leaves USERCOUNT in a 'true' value?<br><br>
