I'd like to skip those lines.  I'd like to skip the line with "bar" and
the following five lines.

In that case, the perl code would be:

#!/usr/bin/perl
$eat = 0;
while (<>) {
    if (m/bar/) {
        $eat = 6;
    }

    if ($eat) {
        --$eat;
    }
    else {
        print;
    }
}


Again, not tested.  Use at your own risk.
