Hey GS, try this. It's not fancy, but it does the job... 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
my $filename = "ifconfig.txt";
#
my @junk;
open(JUNK, $filename)|| die "Cannot open file $filename!";
@junk = <JUNK>;
close(JUNK);
my ($interface, $istatus, $item);
foreach $item (@junk) {
  chop $item;
  $interface = $item if ($item =~ m/^[A-z][A-z][0-9]:/);
  $istatus="";
  if ($item =~ m/status:/) {
    my @sjunk = split (/ /, $item);
    $istatus = $sjunk[$#sjunk];
    $istatus = $sjunk[$#sjunk-1] . " " .  $sjunk[$#sjunk] if ($istatus
+ ne "active");
    }
  print "$interface $istatus\n" if ($istatus ne "");
}
