If straight text, then could just read the first line and start on the second:
my $MyHdrLine = <FILEIN>; # get first line
WHILE ( <FILEIN> ) {
}
You have bypassed first line(has carriage return still with it.
Now you start your processing.
Wags ;)

Hi:
I have a file that contains a header row, I want to remove the first line
and start processing
on the second line. Would you recommend using seek to scan for the last
word in the first line?
Thanks,
-Scott
