The Perl Cookbook Chapter 8.4 , Reading a File Backwards by Line or Paragraph

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use strict;

my $i = 0; my $j = 3;

my @lines =

while ($line = pop @lines) { ($i == $j) ? last : $i++; # do something with line; }

Alternately, you just could just take a slice from the bottom of the array and loop over that...

btw : what's the deal with new lines. everybody has nicely formatted code but me :-(
