Perl::Critic::Policy::Lax::ProhibitEmptyQuotes::ExceptAsFallback - empty quotes are okay as the fallback on the rhs of ||
version 0.009
Sure,
"" can be confusing when crammed into the middle of a big list of values,
and a bunch of spaces is even worse.
It's really common,
though,
to write this code to get a default,
false,
defined string:
my $value = $got || '';
It's got a certain charm about it that just isn't manifested by these:
my $value = $got || $EMPTY;
my $value = $got || q{};
This policy prohibits all-whitespace strings constructed by single or double quotes, except for the empty string when it follows the high-precedence "or" or "defined or" operators.
