The misspelling in the print statement doesn't make any difference. It's not parsed by perl, just a string output. Doesn't make any difference in program execution at all.

If it helps, I get the exact same error. Once I use Schedule::Cron, $Info comes back as undefined. Must be something that conflicts between those two modules.

The eval doesn't help, btw. I assume you put it in to help debug, but the problem is prior to these lines.

I'll keep trying things out, and let you know if I have any luck.

Update: It seems that use'ing Schedule::Cron sets $SIG{CHLD}. This seems to be interfering with the Ifconfig module. I'd say it's a bug in the ifconfig module, the Schedule::Cron module, or both -- but here's a workaround.

Save the old value of $SIG{CHLD}, then call Ifconfig, then restore $SIG{CHLD}. Or, get rid of the use line, and 'require' it below this call.

my $oldsigchld = $SIG{CHLD};
$SIG{CHLD} = 'DEFAULT';
# get info for all interfaces                                         
+                                                              
my $Info = Net::Ifconfig::Wrapper::Ifconfig('list', '', '', '');
$SIG{CHLD} = $oldsigchld if(defined $oldsigchld);

or

# get info for all interfaces                                         
+                                                              
my $Info = Net::Ifconfig::Wrapper::Ifconfig('list', '', '', '');
require Schedule::Cron;

If I do either of those things, it works fine. ;-)
