How about the following(untested, of course):
# read a file and set a flag (boolean) if pattern is found
# we then will print the following line and reset the flag
open(OUT,$outputfilename)||die "Could not open $outputfilename for out
+put\n$!\n";
open(FILE,$inputfilename)||die "Could not open $inputfilename for read
+ing\n$!\n";
while(<FILE>){
if($checked){
print OUT;
undef $checked;
next;
}
if(/pattern/){
$checked=1;
next;
}
}
close(FILE);
close(OUT);

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
