hello.
Hello,
Here is my problem. i am unable to return the 2 strings as true.
you're not returning anything anywhere...
it false back to the else statement.
have you tried printing $msg to see what it contains to manually verify
it matches what you think it matches?
# always always always
use strict;
use warnings;
use lib '/usr/lib/perl5';
Why? POSIX should be in @INC already
use POSIX qw(strftime);
You never use this, why have it?

if ($msg =~ /roam act/i)

ACTIVATE or 'ROAM DACT' TO DEACTIVATE.\n";

You don't need exit()...
Try this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
if($ARGV[0] =~ /roam act/i) {
print two_hour_notice('ACTivated');
}
elsif($ARGV[0] =~ /roam dact/i) {
print two_hour_notice('DeACTivated');
}
else {
print "Unknown input: $ARGV[0]\n";
}
sub two_hour_notice {
my $service_type = shift;
return "Your Prepaid Roaming service will be $service_type within
the next 2 hours.Thank you.\n";
}
