see your system or shell lesson :) (in c close(open("file", "w")) ;

Try something like :

cp /opt/nagios/var/hostperf.log /opt/nagios/var/hostperf.log.roll
perl -e "open(FP, '>/opt/nagios/var/hostperf.log') ; close(FP) ;" 

or 
cp /opt/nagios/var/hostperf.log /opt/nagios/var/hostperf.log.roll
> /opt/nagios/var/hostperf.log

And you truncate it without change is descriptor...

I agree with you, it works pretty good with the truncate method,
and you leave nagios alone.
