Elsif not working in perl
have issue where my elsif is always failing. Basically i have a file with sets of 2 lines, the 1st line that containing "ipwr" and the 2nd line containing a value or "unknown". if the 2nd line contains a value then i want to print the pair of lines.

Code:
    open (INFO, "temp.txt") or die;
    while (<INFO>) {
      if ($_ =~ /ipwr/) {
             $pline = $_;
      }elsif ($_ !=~ /unknown/) {
             print "$pline";
             print "$_";
      }
    }
    close INFO;

perl::critic::policy::controlstructures::prohibitcascadingifelse

Perl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitCascadiUserEContributed PerlPerl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitCascadingIfElse(3pm)

NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitCascadingIfElse - Don't write long "if-elsif-elsif-elsif-elsif...else" chains.

AFFILIATION

       This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

DESCRIPTION

       Long "if-elsif" chains are hard to digest, especially if they are longer than a single page or screen.  If testing for equality, use a hash
       lookup instead.	If you're using perl 5.10 or later, use "given"/"when".

	   if ($condition1) {	      #ok
	       $foo = 1;
	   }
	   elsif ($condition2) {      #ok
	       $foo = 2;
	   }
	   elsif ($condition3) {      #ok
	       $foo = 3;
	   }
	   elsif ($condition4) {      #too many!
	       $foo = 4;
	   }
	   else {		      #ok
	       $foo = $default;
	   }

CONFIGURATION

       This policy can be configured with a maximum number of "elsif" alternatives to allow.  The default is 2.  This can be specified via a
       "max_elsif" item in the .perlcriticrc file:

	   [ControlStructures::ProhibitCascadingIfElse]
	   max_elsif = 3
