We're having a lot of posts that argue for Code tags warning.
For starters, it looks like you're mixing up assignment and comparison. You have "if $da is assigned bd, then compare $femi_da to Downplayer". You should definitely have
use strict;
use warnings;
at the top of your program. Then I would recommend you turn your if-block into a hash:
my %da_to_femi = ( bd => 'Downplayer', co => 'offers,options commit',
+#etc
# so you can say
$femi_da = $da_to_femi{$da};
A lot of what you wrote isn't valid Perl. I think you should start a little simpler until you get used to writing Perl.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
