NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitEmptyQuotes

DESCRIPTION

Don't use quotes for an empty string or any string that is pure whitespace. Instead, use "q{}" to improve legibility. Better still, created named values like this. Use the "x" operator to repeat characters. 
   $message = '';      #not ok
   $message = "";      #not ok
   $message = "     "; #not ok
 
   $message = q{};     #better
   $message = q{     } #better
 
   $EMPTY = q{};
   $message = $EMPTY;      #best
 
   $SPACE = q{ };
   $message = $SPACE x 5;  #best
