Each of the 2 lines where you test against the regex is reading another record. Don't do that. Instead, you could store the record in a variable and then do the two tests on that one variable. eg:
use strict;
use warnings;
my $ip = "";
while (<>) {
if (/Relay.access.denied/) {
my $rec;
do {
$rec = <>;
print "$2\n" if $rec =~ /(\d+)\s+(\S+)/;
$ip = $2;
} until ($rec !~ /(\d+)\s+(\S+)/);
}
}
However, there are so many other ways to approach this too. It would be better to avoid the regex duplication in the first place, for example.
Addendum: As you appear to be trying to parse the output of pflogsumm, perhaps this is an XY problem?
