The problem got solved by if ($msg =~ /roam\s*act/i)
this will allow you to get the whole word without space or take it with
space.

though when you query you have to put the words under " ".

Well, yes.  Running your program as

  perl myprog.pl roam act

is the same as

  perl myprog.pl    roam    act

both of which create TWO arguments, one 'roam', and the other 'act'.
