I would make that
perl -wne 'print qq{$_} if $. != 5' filename
or
perl -wne 'print if $. != 5' filename
or better
perl -wne 'print unless $. == 5' filename
or maybe even
perl -wne '$. == 5 or print' filename
and certainly mention to replace the outer '' by "" for Windows.
BTW,
perl -wpe 'next if $. == 5'
doesn't work, see the -MO=Deparse output for the why.
