in reply to return explicit undef - Best Practices?

Thanks for the suggestions, I think I've found a clear answer.

The rule I was looking at (PBP 9.12) is "returning failure". This isn't actually a case of returning failure, rather one of returning falsehood. So I'm going to go with JavaFan and explicitly return undef from the method.

    You could return 0 or '' for false instead, saving undef for actual errors.
