windows - Perl oneliner: print first lines into file -

i want print first 10 lines of huge file new file. oneliner can print lines on monitor:

> perl -ne "print if $. < 10" in.csv

i tried this:

> perl -ne "print if $. < 10" in.csv >out.txt

but create file out.txt without writing first lines it. wrong code?
help

windows 7 / strawberry perl

update1:
if send print result on monitor using:

> perl -ne "print if $. <= 10" in.csv

the program not stop, is, first ten lines output on monitor not end with:

i have stop program using ctrl+c.

using simple csv-file ikegami (just rows) onliner works. assume there within csv-file.

update 2:
original onliner:

> perl -ne "print if $. <= 10" in.csv >out.txt

works. have wait seconds. csv-file 2 gb large. onliner:

> perl -pe "exit if $. > 10" in.csv >out.txt

gives result immediately. conclusion: first onliner goes through rows, second exit after 10 rows.

sorry bother problem. learnt lesson: use appropriate onliner or wait more seconds.

hum? that's correct (except < 10 should <= 10):

>type in.csv b c d e f g h j k l m n ... z  >perl -ne "print if $. <= 10" in.csv >out.txt  >type out.txt b c d e f g h j  >

a faster solution exit when has no more print rather printing entire file.

perl -pe"last if $. > 10" in.csv >out.txt
