Ah, but I do need to print something. And the error message is contradictory if anything, The string is described as "a runaway multi-line '' string"
A blank multi-line string, do I read that right? If it's multi-line, it's not blank, because it has newline characters in it; perhaps a mention in the Common Traps section of the documentation? I have a feeling it would save a number of people a lot of headache.

It does sound annoying, but that error message looks pretty informative to me. You'd probably be better off with a <%perl> or <%init> block here if there's really nothing to print. I tend to avoid the % because it's so easy to break with a space before it on the line. - Perrin
