Author Error: Can't modify subroutine entry in scalar assignment at script.pl line 165, near

I have this code and receive the message "Can't modify subroutine
entry in scalar assignment at script.pl line 165, near "$_;" " when
running on perl, version 5.005_03 but not when running on perl version
v5.6.1, I know the easiest answer would be to upgrade the older verson
of perl but I have NO control over that.

Is there a change I can make for this to work on 5.005.03 as well.

I appreciate your help:

$conmsg=("Agent is now connected");
$disconmsg=("Agent is now disconnected");

foreach (@logarray)
{
our $msg = $_; #this is line 165.
if ($msg=~ "$conmsg")
{
$flag="TRUE"
}
if ($msg=~ "$disconmsg")
{
$flag="FALSE"
}
}
if ($flag eq "FALSE")
{ system("echo Please check $filein. The following message
was found: $disconmsg. |mail -s \"$0 - $sysName\"
username\@host.com");
print"An error was found, an email has been sent. \n";
exit(1);
}
