Re: better way to skip first few lines of file read?

<TRACECSV> while $. <= 4;

$. is not well-known to many Perl programmers.

<TRACECSV> for 1 .. 4;

thanks. Above solution is simple & effective. I agree that I was gratuitously using $. when your solution is far easier to document and probably safer in my program since I have several filehandles open.
