Can you reboot it from the configuration page (should be http://192.168.1.1)? If so then you can use WWW::Mechanize to get the connection information you are looking for, and to reboot the device.

IMHO WWW::Mechanize is well documented and has some example code to get you started. If you have any other problems let us know.

Cable modem status should give you an idea of how to do this using LWP::Simple.

Update: I googled this device, it would seem that it does have a web interface, and you can reboot ('Restart') it from the 'Tools'->'SystemCommands' menu on the web interface. Consult your user guide for more information.

Hope this helps.
