in thread Idiom for setting variables to empty string if capture is undefined?

"...$a and $b are reserved for sort..."

Sure, they are.

"Everything You Always Wanted to Know About $a and $b (*But Were Afraid to Ask)" (freely adapted from Woody Allen)

But the OP doesn't sort. And what about localizing them in a block if he really wants/needs this variable names for some unknown/weird reasons?
