NAME

Object::BlankStr - True-valued 'blank' string object

VERSION

version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

use Object::BlankStr;

die Object::BlankStr->new; # dies without printing anything

DESCRIPTION

Provides an object which stringifies to a 'blank' string (actually " \b", that is, space followed by a backspace so when printed emulates nothing). Since this is an object, it has a true value.

This is used for example when throwing exception with die(). You don't want to print anything ("") but you need it to be a true value because otherwise Perl will use "Died at ..." as the default error message.
