> What does "chmod" mean and how do I make a file "chmod 777"
"chmod" = change (permission) mode
unless you own the file, as root do -  chmod 777 filename
but normally you don't want to give write access to everyone.
 
If counter.pl is a perl script do chmod 755 counter.pl or chmod +x counter.pl
the log files  chmod 666  logfilename. Then again, if it is the uid "nobody" 
which will write to the log file, chmod 644 or 600 should be fine.

Best thing is do a "man chmod" for all the gory details.

cheers
