You are reading in single lines and then testing if that line has an 'if' and a 'fi' in it. Since the if statement you are looking for spans multiple lines you won't find it that way.

Your choices are to read in the entire script to a single string or to process the file a line at a time remembering the state of your search. The first is easiest and, assuming your script is not several hundred Megabytes in size, practical.

use strict;
use warnings;

my $here=<<HERE;
                if /usr/bin/pgrep -x -u 0 -P 1 ltps& >/dev/null 2>&1; 
+then
                        echo "$0: ltps is already running"
                        exit 0
                fi

my $file = do { local $/; <DATA> };
$file =~ s/^(if.*?rctladm\.conf.*?fi$)/$1\n$here/ms;
print $file;

You may want to look at the indenting of your replacement text.
