NAME
   Object::BlankStr - Object which stringifies to empty string ("")

VERSION
   version 0.05

SYNOPSIS
    use Object::BlankStr;

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

    # checking exception the right way
    eval { die rand() > 0.5 ? Object::BlankStr->new : "blurg" };
    my $eval_err = $@;
    if ($eval_err || ref($eval_err)) {
       ...
    }

    # checking exception the WRONG way, object is stringified to "" and becomes
    # false
    eval { die rand() > 0.5 ? Object::BlankStr->new : "blurg" };
    if ($@) {
       ...
    }

DESCRIPTION
   Object::BlankStr is just an empty object which stringifies to "" (empty
   string). Since it is an object, it has a boolean true value (but be
   careful with stringification, see SYNOPSIS).

   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::BlankStr->new;' Perl will die without printing anything.
