I've not done it myself but there are two examples in
the Perl Cookbook that deal with what you're trying to
do.
If you don't have that book, take a look at the man
pages for read and seek. read lets you read X number
of bytes beginning at a defined offset. seek lets you
position yourself in the file at a specific location.
Good luck.
