His point is still valid. The seek command brings you to the beginning and the description say it brings you to the end. Don't be a jerk.
The description says seek(MYFILE, 0, 0); truncate(MYFILE, 0);These bring us to the end of the file, and then sets the length to zero.
It describes what happens in effect, not how (it doesn't say seek brings us to the end of the file and truncate sets the length to zero).
Besides, what is the end of a zero length file? The beginning

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).
