Dear Monks,
I am a new perl user please be patient.
Here is my problem-
Need to check the status for active interfaces on unix boxes(solaris, BSD). I am using the Net:Telnet module and getting the ouput from ifconfig -a command.
I need to parse the output to check the actine interfaces:
How should I do it, read the details of the interface in an array and search for status, or any other better way of doing it.
Thanks,
Here is text to parse-

edit (broquaint): added <code> tags

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
