Can someone suggest a perl command line snippet that will print the last

If you are under unix/linux
just use "tail -n" command.
However if you really want to go via Perl command line:
$perl -e '
open FH, "<file" or die $!;
@lines = <FH>;
close FH or die $!;
foreach $i (($#lines - $n) .. $#lines) { print "$lines[$i]\n";}
