Thanks for your response. Yeah, that's exactly what I want - "next line", rather than "next". I've updated the code but doesn't seem to be working?

my $item = "UNKNOWN";
if ( $line =~ m/show port/ )                { $item                  =
+ "port"; }
if ( $line =~ m/show router interface/ )    { $item                  =
+ "l3"; }
if ( $line =~ m/Count:\s+(\d+)/ )           { $checks{$item}{$stage} =
+ $1; }

Am I missing something?
