in reply to problems with truncate function

What Anonymonk is saying is the || has a higher precedence than or so either write:-

truncate( $fh, 0 ) || die ...

[download]

or

truncate $fh, 0 or die ...

[download]

Your code is doing:-

truncate $fh, ( 0 || die ... )

[download]

which is not what you want!

    The forum "Seekers of perl wisdom" is really appropriate.
    Thank you all,
