Hi,
   How to get first line, last line and no of lines in
a file.....

is there any perl functions available for that ?
right now what i am doing is

open file
while (<FH>
{
 $lines++;
}
close(FH)

This operation is expensive..
suppose, if file have millions of records,
it will take more time....

I think there should be some functions to get those..
i appreciate u r help....

Thanx in advance
-Madhu
