Long ago on usenet, Tom Christiansen once wrote: "If you find yourself calling cat with just one argument, you're probably doing something silly". So you should lose the cat and replace: 

cat /tmp/1.out|perl -lane 'print $F[1]..$F[-1]'

with (using the LanX slice idea): 
perl -lane 'print join q{ }, @F[1..$#F]' /tmp/1.out

[download]
or: 
perl -lape '$_=join q{ }, @F[1..$#F]' /tmp/1.out

[download]
or even (for variety, not recommended): 
perl -lpe 's/\s*\S+\s*//' /tmp/1.out
