Since you have * which in a regex stands for zero or more occurances, then you
must turn this off as part of the processing. You use \Q and \E as in /^\Q$b\E/ would
take the aa** a as just that.
I would get away from the $a and $b as variables since this are default
variables for sort and can cause you problems in the future if not careful.
