having an issue with sorting and dumping files out of a router. Here is what i got..looking to sort interfaces that are DOWN/UP. 
#! /usr/bin/env/ perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::Telnet::Cisco;
{
    use Data::Dumper;
    print( Dumper);
  }

my $ip_address ="";
my $username = "";
my $password = "";
my $prompt = '/.*[#\$%>]\s*$/';



my $session = Net::Telnet::Cisco->new(Host => $ip_address, Prompt => $
+prompt, Timeout =>20);
$session->login($username, $password);

# Execute a Command
my @show_log_output = $session->cmd('show log');

my $mystring;
$mystring = "up";
$mystring = "down";

print "$mystring";

print "@show_log_output\n";

#Execute a Command
my @show_interface_desc_output = $session->cmd('show interface desc');


print "@show_interface_desc_output\n";




$session->close;



exit;
