No, I meant something like the following to catch the case where @a is not
filled with any values:

> foreach ($query->answer) {
> if ( $_->type eq 'NS' ) {

+ if (@a) {
+ @a = sort { $a cmp $b } @a;
+ print F $a[0],"\n", $a[1],"\n";
+ }
> } # END 1st IF
- @a = sort { $a cmp $b } @a;
- print F $a[0],"\n";
- print F $a[1],"\n";
if the 1st IF branch is not visited, @a is always empty;
if it is visited, @a _may_ be filled with values
:-)
