Do you want case insensitive matching? If your file has Mark, and you
want to match mark, put an i at the end of your regexp. And you shouldn't
need to escape the whitespace. Try
if ($user =~ /$pat/i) {
and
if ($text =~ /User Connect (.*?) /)

Try it with just alphanum characters first... all the * and [ ] characters
maybe giving your regexp problems.
Also you are loading the whole file for each connection. If the bot runs
all the time, you could probably load the file once?
