Hello, I have uploaded perpage.sty to ftp.dante.de. License is LPPL, I recommend installing it to macros/latex/contrib/supported/misc/perpage.sty since it is a single file including its docs. It is so short that I have not bothered making a dtx file from it.
Here is its comment section:
% The following package adds the ability to reset counters per page. % Usage example: % MakePerPage[2]{footnote} % will start footnote numbers with 2 on each page (the optional % argument defaults to 1). 2 might be a strange number, unless % you have

It is quite short and can do all the tricks that footnpag claims to implement in some indefinite versions. And it will work with any counters, not just footnotes. If work is the correct expression for the dirty trickery it does.
Thanks for the upload. As suggested, I installed the file in
macros/latex/contrib/supported/misc/perpage.sty
