 File.open("test") do |f|
     f.readlines.slice(5..-1) do |line|
        p line
     end
 end

New question. What, if anything, is wrong with this?

 File.open("test").readlines.slice(5..-1) do |line|
        p line
 end

I ask because I've experienced trouble treating the return value of open as 
a file object, without the magic block mode.
