I am having some trouble with my if/elsif statements and I have even tried just if statements. The below code only returns the outcome of the first statement but never goes to check the next elsif statement. And if I just use plan if statements it only returns the last if statement output. It doesn't matter what is checked it always returns the first. 
if($dtype=="SRADDL"){
     $ora="SRC Addlf";
}elsif($dtype=="SRSUPP"){
     $ora="SRC Supp";
}elsif($dtype=="GROUP"){
     $ora="SRC Group";
}elsif($dtype=="SRFXDC"){
     $ora="SRC Dep";
}elsif($dtype=="SRFLMD"){
     $ora="SRC Med";
}elsif($dtype=="SRLIFE"){
     $ora="SRC Life";
}else{
     $ora=$dtype;
}
print $dtype." : ".$ora."\n";
