in reply to perl -pie "???"
here's my take, since you want -p and not -n
perl -pi -e '$_="" if $i++' file
Update: oops! wrote it backwards. Thanx TZapper for pointing it out.
perl -pi -e '$_="" unless $i++' file
He who asks will be a fool for five minutes, but he who doesn't ask will remain a fool for life.
