daptal has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I am trying to use the google api for setting the vacation attributes. When i try to set the end date to null ie '' it does not set the value , however if i set the value to some date eg:- '2011-10-10' it sets the value.
ref: http://code.google.com/googleapps/domain/email_settings/developers_guide_protocol.html#GA_email_vacation_main
usage :
$arg->{'endDate'} = ''; #and i build the xml from there on in the format 'endDate' => { 'value' => '' },
Can you please point me in the right direction

    '' is not null, '' is the empty string

    Try simply not specifying an end date
