NAME
Object::NulStr - Object which stringifies to NUL character ("\0")
VERSION
version 0.02
SYNOPSIS
use Object::NulStr;
die Object::NulStr->new; # dies without seemingly printing anything
DESCRIPTION
Object::NulStr is like Object::BlankStr, but instead of stringifying to
"" (empty string), it stringifies to "\0" (NUL character). This has the
benefit of having a boolean true value so checking exception is simpler
(a simple if on $@ will do). But Object::BlankStr might suit you better
if printing "\0" has some undesired side effects. Too bad we can't have
it both ways for now.
So far the only case I've found this to be useful is for die()-ing
without printing anything. If you just use 'die;' or 'die "";' Perl will
print the default "Died at ..." message. But if you say 'die
Object::NulStr->new;' Perl will die without seemingly printing anything.
