Legal in which sense?

Well, as long as your browser is able to execute the script, sure.
But that's the same with javascript. Whether or not it will "as usual"
will depend on the browser.

What does 'counter.pl' contain? If it contains Perl, I'm quite surprised
it runs ok - as I would expect the browser to execute it like it contained
Javascript.

If counter.pl contains javascript, this forum is not the right place to ask.

Eh, the server is interpreting the <script> part? Well, I guess that's
possible (after all, the server can do what it damn well pleases), but
quite odd. Perhaps you should ask in a group related about servers then.
