The perl version:
    perl -ne 'print if /xxx/ .. eof' file

is basically identical to the sed version:
    sed -n '/xxx/,$ p' file

and the awk version:
    awk '/xxx/, END { print }' file

I can't think of any particular reason to prefer one over another
for simple things like this.  Use whatever's convenient and
familiar.
