To ignore the white space in between ROAM and ACT use /x modifier of Perl RE
to extend your pattern's legibility by permitting whitespace and comments.
Hope that will serve your purpose.
Instead of
if ($msg =~ /roam act/i)
Use
if ($msg =~ /roam act/ix)
You're misunderstanding the /x modifier. Using /x means that all
whitespace in your regex is ignored, not that all whitespace in the STRING
is ignored. Only "roamact" is matched by /roam act/x, since the " " in
the regex is ignored due to the /x modifier.
