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

Implicit comparison to $. only happens for constants, so that
should be ($. $N) .. 0
I think we'd like to avoid solutions that involve loading
entire file into an array, agreed?
Here's how I'd do it:
sed -n '5,$p'
