learning Python from Perl here. Want to do things as Pythonicly as possible.

I am reading a TSV, but need to skip the first 5 lines. The following 
works, but wonder if there's a more pythonc way to do things. Thanks

ctr = 0
with open(prfile,mode="rt",encoding='utf-8') as pfile:
     for line in pfile:
         ctr += 1

         if ctr < 5:
             continue

         allVals = line.strip().split("\t")
         print(allVals)
