Shouldn't that be more like this? 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use LWP::Simple;

my $level;
my %colors = (
  'Unknown'  => '#808080',
  'Low'      => '#63cf63',
  'Guarded'  => '#009aff',
  'Elevated' => '#ffcf00',
  'High'     => '#ff6500',
  'Severe'   => '#ff0000',
);

if(get('http://www.whitehouse.gov/president/') =~ /George W. Bush/i) {
   my @levels = ('Elevated', 'High', 'Severe');
   $level = $levels[int(rand @levels)];
} else {
   $level = get('http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/getAdvisoryCondition');
   $level =~ s/^.*CONDITION="([^"]+)".*$/\L\u$1/s;
}

print qq{Content-type: text/html

<html>
  <body style="background-color:$colors{$level}">
    <h3 style="color:#000000">$level</h3>
  </body>
</html>
};
