[tpm] Skip lines when "perl -wn"

The "-n" causes Perl to assume a loop around the program, which makes it
iterate over filename arguments somewhat like `sed -n` or awk.
Now, is it possible to skip some lines myself in such "perl -wn" script?
#!/usr/bin/perl -wn
if (/my case/) {
# Skip two lines
<>; <>;
# Deal with the rest
}
The above is not working for me. $_ is stuck at the same line/content.
How to skip some lines in such "perl -wn" script?
Thanks
Antonio
