    What I do to make sure data is going to be in the vars that come in I usually use:
    if (! $myvalue ){
    $myvalue = $defaultValue;
}

      Another way to write this is: 
      $myvalue ||= $defaultValue;

      ...of course, if $myvalue had a "0" as a legitgimate value, you would want something like: 
      defined $myvalue or $myvalue=$defaultValue;
