22 "PPI::Statement::Null" is a utility class designed to handle situations
23 where PPI encounters a naked statement separator.
24
25 Although strictly speaking, the semicolon is a statement separator and
26 not a statement terminator, PPI considers a semicolon to be a statement
27 terminator under most circumstances.
28
29 In any case, the null statement has no purpose, and can be safely
30 deleted with no ill effect.
31
33 "PPI::Statement::Null" has no additional methods beyond the default
34 ones provided by PPI::Statement, PPI::Node and PPI::Element.
