I just strace'd the 'tail' program  and that does the right
thing too

# strace tail -c 2 somefile
....
open("somefile", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE)       = 3
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0664, st_size=10600, ...}) = 0
_llseek(3, 0, [0], SEEK_CUR)            = 0
_llseek(3, 0, [10600], SEEK_END)        = 0
_llseek(3, -2, [10598], SEEK_END)       = 0
read(3, "l\n"..., 2)                    = 2

So using 'tail' instead of this perl script would be more readable
and efficient.
