in thread Read Some lines in Tera byte file

because i said file is in tera bytes, so if my file reading position is nth (ex : 99999999) then it will be difficult to parse all lines and consuming time also.

do we have function in perl like seek?

    Yes. See perlfunc. Also, Google is helpful. If the file is on a remote server, then seek will only work if you can mount the remote filesystem locally.
