new line (again) - works on my computer but not my hosts server?!?!? (Posted by Justin Stayton)

i have a script that will print the ip address of the visitor, and then print a new line. it works fine on my computer using sambar server, but on linux it prints  in between each ip. whats wrong?

the code:

## Your IP address
$yourip = "000.000.000.000";

## Visitors IP address
$visitorip = $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'};

## Path to the counter file
$countfile = "/home/fireburn/ftp/cgi-bin/count/count.dat";

## Path to the log file
$logfile = "/home/fireburn/ftp/cgi-bin/count/log.dat";

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
open(COUNT, "$countfile");
$count = <COUNT>;
$count++;
close (COUNT);

open(COUNT, ">$countfile");
print COUNT "$count";
close (COUNT);

open(LOG, "$logfile");
$log = <LOG>;
close (LOG);

open(LOG, ">>$logfile");
print LOG "$visitorip";
print LOG "\n";
close (LOG);

print "$count";
