Does this give the error:
open my $file, '+>', 'testfile' or die "Can't write testfile: $!\n";
print $file 'test!';
seek $file, 0, 0;
print <$file> . "\n";
seek $file, 0, 0;
truncate $file, 0 or die "Can't truncate testfile: $!\n";
close $file or die "Can't save testfile: $!\n";
If so, what's the error? truncate says that if truncate isn't implemented it's a fatal error, but I'm not sure what OSes that would include.
BTW, it's usually a good idea to show us what you've tried so we can work from that.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
