P's "MORE EXAMPLES" doc says that including \x83 at the end of a format
string will "suppress auto-NL to FH's". It does more than that: it
suppresses all output. Using the example straight from the documentation:
$ perl -Ilib -e 'use P; P "Hello \x83"; P "World";'
World
od confirms that "Hello" has disappeared entirely:
$ perl -Ilib -e 'use P; P "Hello \x83"; P "World";' | od -tc
0000000 W o r l d \n
0000006
