you don't need to open the file at all. truncate can take a filename.
ab> my $tmp=$fsize-$trunccount;
where do those get set? don't name vars $tmp as that tells the reader
nothing about the variable's use.
ab> seek(FH,$tmp,0);
ab> $addr = tell(FH) ;
you don't need the seek and tell calls. you have the size you want and
you can pass that directly to truncate.
ab> truncate(FH, $addr)|| die "\nFailed to truncate $file: $!";
ab> close(fd);
ab> print "\nTruncate successful\n";
this can all be reduced to this:
my $size = -s $file ;
truncate( $file, $size - $truncount ) ||
die "\nFailed to truncate $file: $!";
