I have PerlIO::via::Skip on cpan that reads lines with
PerlIO. It can read the lines after it finds the pattern, between
patterns, can skips comments, or skip a number of lines
after it finds the pattern, etc,. For the case of reading after
line 1000, you will probably need to pattern-match the first line and
request your lines with the 'after=>1000' parameter.
