in reply to print a hash ref

next if $. == 35 or $. == 36;

Did you know that you can use the flip-flop with line numbers?

$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E ' open my $inFH, q{<}, \ <<EOD or die $!; Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 Line 4 Line 5 Line 6 Line 7 EOD while ( <$inFH> ) { next if 3 .. 5; print; }' Line 1 Line 2 Line 6 Line 7 $

Just another bit of Perl shorthand :-)

Cheers,
