Hello monks,
Hope this is a simple thing. Tried to search but couldn't find a reasonable solution for the same.
What I want is to print line number say 60 to 70 in a file.

This will work out using sed

sed -n '60,70 p' wordlist
[download]

Simply using head,tail it will work out

tail -n +60 wordlist|head -10
[download]

Using perl $. it will work out

perl -ne 'print if $. ~~ [60..70]' wordlist
[download]

Using perl list context, it works out.

perl -e 'my @lines=`cat wordlist`;print @lines[60..70];'
[download]

What I want is any way we can eliminate that @lines array and do it in one line. Tried somethings but can't make it out. e.g.

perl -e 'print @(`cat wordlist`)[60..70];'
[download]

Or

perl -e 'print (@(`cat wordlist`))[60..70];'
[download]

But nothing works out. Would be thankful if you could help me in that.
