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.
