in thread Deleting on Files

Could I do something like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl
    use strict;
    use warnings;

    open (FILE, '+<', 'sample.txt') or die "Could not open sample.txt:
+ $!";
    close (FILE) or die "Could not close sample.txt: $!";

    Using > instead of < will open it for writing and truncate the file.

    open (FILE, '>', 'sample.txt') or die "Could not open sample.txt: $!";
close (FILE) or die "Could not close sample.txt: $!";
