Change these lines as so: 
if (&Search_Buff($decide == "1")){
     &Site_Up;
     }
else {
   &Site_Down;
     }

To:

if( &Search_Buff ) {
    &Site_Up;
}
else {
    &Site_Down;
}

And change Search_Buff() to so: 
sub Search_Buff {
    open (gethttpbuff, "gethttpbuff.txt") || die("Could not open file!
+");
    @array = <gethttpbuff>;
    close(gethttpbuff)

    foreach $line (@array) {
        if ($line =~ /$search/) {
            return 1;
        }
    }

    return 0;
}

That should make everything work just fine.

There are a number of other items you can do, such as adding use strict; to the top of your script to make it more robust, but that should get you going for now.

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.
