Monks, I am new, and do not have a coding/scripting background.
I am looking to turn some commands I run at the command line of a device into a PERL script, and am seeking advice.

The ask:
1. Run a command to collect data.
EXAMPLE:
"list cm device all-properties | grep configsync-ip"

2. Collect ONLY the IPs from the output of the above command, and set them variables.
EXAMPLE OUTPUT:
    configsync-ip 1.1.1.1
    configsync-ip 1.1.1.2

$csip1 = 1.1.1.1
$csip2 = 1.1.1.2

3. Run another command(s) using the above variables.
EXAMPLE:
tmsh list net self | grep ($csip1) | -A 1
tmsh list net self | grep ($csip2) | -A 1

4. Based on the text containing "all" in the output, form a response to print.
EXAMPLE OUTPUT:
address 1.1.1.1/24
    allow-service all <-- This woud trigger a print, with multiple variables collected outside of the ask.

I do not have much code to offer as my starting point. Just the template that the tool I am working in provides.

Thanks in advance for all responses!

 

#============= your logic goes here ==================
# execute commands
# collect cs_vlan ip info
my $response = $connect->cmd('tmsh list cm device all-properties | gre
+p configsync-ip',{-prompt => '#'});
# set ips from output to variables
# use variables in additional commands
# analyze the output and create resposes for print 
my $target;
if ($response =~ /(\.....d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+….)/) {
    $target = $1;
}
#=================================================
my $2ndresponse =…..
….

$connect->cmd('exit');
$connect->disconnect;

# PRINT WHATEVER YOU WANT TO SHOW TO POLICIES
print "\n$FINALresponse\n";
