PPI::Statement::Null(3)                    User Contributed Perl Documentation


NAME
       PPI::Statement::Null - A useless null statement

SYNOPSIS
         my $foo = 1;

         ; # <-- Null statement

         my $bar = 1;

INHERITANCE
         PPI::Statement::Null
         isa PPI::Statement
             isa PPI::Node
                 isa PPI::Element

DESCRIPTION
       "PPI::Statement::Null" is a utility class designed to handle situations
       where PPI encounters a naked statement separator.

       Although strictly speaking, the semicolon is a statement separator and
       not a statement terminator, PPI considers a semicolon to be a statement
       terminator under most circumstances.

       In any case, the null statement has no purpose, and can be safely
       deleted with no ill effect.

METHODS
       "PPI::Statement::Null" has no additional methods beyond the default
       ones provided by PPI::Statement, PPI::Node and PPI::Element.

SUPPORT
       See the support section in the main module.
