help to delete a line

Hi,
I have a file that I am chopping and changing. I want to delete line 12
each time. I have a counter to tell the line number. Ive tried


if ($counter == 12)
	{
	next;
	}
$counter++


this doesn't give an error but doesnt move on to the next line either.

thanks in advance for any help
Jo.
