I am trying to modify some Perl code, and cannot seem to get it correct. This is an already established application, and all I am trying to do is put in one additional field, and based on the answer to that field (radio button) set the subject in the email which is being generated at the submit time. My basic code looks like this: Placing the button on the form for end user view-ability. 
<tr>
  <td>
    Is this a Branch Manager performing a Business Call?
  </td>
  <td>
    <input type="radio" name="businessCall" value="Yes_bus" />Yes     
+                    
    <input type="radio" name="businessCall" value="No_bus" />No * 
    </td>    
</tr>

If statement - this have been changed many times, and no matter what I do, it is still given me an error. If I keep out the if statement and just display the field it works fine, so it is not an issue with the field names, just my formatting of the code itself. I still classify myself as a newbie to Perl. 
if $businessCall.value = "Yes_bus" {
   my $subject = "Branch Manager Business Call"
   } else if $businessCall.value = "No_bus" {
      my $subject = "Merchant Referral"
      }

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give me to get what I believe is a very easy if then statement working here.
