in thread Skipping the first 4 lines of a file:: Is there a better way?

@_ = split /(?:.+\n){$skip}/m, "@_";

Gah, that's terribly inefficient. splice( @_, 0, $skip ) at the least if you feel you have to modify @_. foreach( @_[  $skip .. $#_ ] ) { ... } would be even better since it doesn't have to move anything around.

Update: Changed from hardcoded 4 to $skip to match.
