Zero is the same as leaving it blank.

No, they are not the same.

        print "something" (line,column,width)

By leaving out the line number (,x,y) you are saying, "print on the same
line".

Having said that, I do not know what a "0" would do in the line position.  I
could see how a "+0" would remain on the same line, however it seems to me
that a "0" would be "one before line 1"...

You could test it....

My $0.02....
