It's a matter of style, I suppose, but seems kind of pointless to me. To
each their own...
But to answer your question, you can use a ';' on a line by itself, such as
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$a = localtime();
if ($a =~ /Mar/) {
print "March\n";
} elsif ($a =~ /Feb/) {
print "February\n";
} else {
; # do nothing
}
You should definitely put a comment on the ';' line to show your intentions.
