Re: Start reading from a specific line

[Eduardo Vázquez Rodríguez]

I know that programming is not one of my best skills, but this code 
works for me, your help is very appreciate

open(INPUT, $file) or die "Can't read from file: $! $file";
  
   # Where we "move" the pointer to line number 10

   $. = 0;
     do
     {
       $_ = <INPUT>
   }
   until $. == 10;
  
   while (<INPUT>)
   {
      #Do whatever I want with $_
   }

need to use double-quotes around variable $.

No you don't.
  my $linecount = $.;
works just fine.
And is there a reason you don't want to use $.?  That is, why create 
another variable which does the same thing?
