What I do to make sure data is going to be in the vars that come in I usually use:

if (! $myvalue ){
    $myvalue = $defaultValue;
}

If this is what you are asking.

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;
