Here's a little oneliner to skip the first 5 lines of the file 'foo':
perl -i5 -e '@_=<STDIN>;[EMAIL PROTECTED]' < foo

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?
