That's better written as:

  if (@ARGV != 2) {

>        print "\n";
>        print "usage cat.pl port up\/down\n";
>        print "\n";
>        exit;
>}

>#if (( $status ne 1 ) || ( $status ne 2 )) {
>#        print "\n";
>#        print "port status must be either up or down\n";
>#        print "\n";
>#        exit;
>#}
