Your problem description isn't very clear, but I think the issue is that you stop listening once you've received the 'ON' response. You print "message received" then the return out of testall_aspects, so there nothing left to listen for the 'off' message.
To deal with asynchronous messages from the arduino you could use a repeat callback to poll the serial port (see Tk::after and Tk::callbacks), something like :-
$widget->repeat(100,\&handler);
...
sub handler {
my $data = $port->lookfor;
return unless $data;
# do stuff
...
}
Also, with this kind of problem it's worth drawing a sequence diagram to show how the messages get passed between the 2 systems.

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).
