jcassie420,

Welcome to the Monastery. Please have a look at Writeup Formatting Tips. It appears your entire question is in code tags, but only the code should be.

In answer to your question, see here: 

sub more { print "more()\n" }
sub fallover { print "fallover()\n" }

print "Welcome to johns fun house\n";
print " : ";
my $command=<>;
chomp $command;

if ($command eq "fun") {
    more;
}

if ($command eq "laugh") {
    fallover;
}

The first important change is to us "eq" when comparing strings. The "==" comparison is only for numbers. See perlop for details.

The other important change is to chomp the input after you get it. Otherwise, $command will have a trailing line terminator.

As an aside, if you haven't looked into them already, I recommend you use strict and warnings with everything you write. You may want to go without them later, but for now they'll probably save you more headaches than they cause.
