Actually, you don't need cgi-bin per se here. CGI scripts generate the
entire page from start to finish; you just want a little bit of
executable content here, hence SSI (server-side includes).

You need to enable SSI (done through the Options keyword: read the
Apache docs), and also, I don't think this is the correct syntax, but I
don't use SSI so I'm not 100% sure. It may be something like:

        Visitor <!#exec /home/httpd/cgi-bin/counter.pl> since bla bla
bal
