I suppose you use Apache. This is quote from its manual:
Note that the comment terminator (-->) should be preceded by whitespace to
ensure that it isn't considered part of an SSI token.
So instead
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/counter.pl?dosomething"-->
it should be
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/counter.pl?dosomething" -->
