How can you just ignore that part?

    truncate FILEHANDLE,LENGTH
    truncate EXPR,LENGTH
            Truncates the file opened on FILEHANDLE, or named by EXPR, to
            the specified length. Produces a fatal error if truncate isn't
            implemented on your system. Returns true if successful, the
            undefined value otherwise.
