You're probably all familiar with the commands "head" and "tail", which
 let you extract the first or the last N lines of input or a file...

Imagine you want to print a file, but without the first N lines...

For N=1, one possibility would be:

print if $. - 1;

For any N, maybe this:

print if ($N+1)..0;

Any thoughts? Any other ideas? What would be the best way to do this?
