You asked for perl, but if you have sed, you could just do:
sed -e :a -e '$q;N;11,$D;ba' filename

That will emulate "tail"

To print out a range:
sed -n -e '1034:1047p' filename

or, you could print out a couple of ranges:
sed -n -e '1034:1047p' -e '2034:2047p' filename

Oh, you wanted PERL...! :-) OK,

perl -e 'print `sed -n -e '1034,1047p' filename`'

Of course, if you really need a "perl only" solution, one of the other replies here would be better
:-) But perl's often not the only tool in the box!
