Long ago on usenet, Tom Christiansen once wrote:

So you should lose the cat and replace:
cat /tmp/1.out|perl -lane 'print $F[1]..$F[-1]'
with (using the LanX slice idea):
perl -lane 'print join q{ }, @F[1..$#F]' /tmp/1.out
or:
perl -lape '$_=join q{ }, @F[1..$#F]' /tmp/1.out
or even (for variety, not recommended):
perl -lpe 's/\s*\S+\s*//' /tmp/1.out

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
