I am writing a Perl script that will run on Solaris an "ifconfig" then will print out the name of the device and the ip address for that device. I have two IF statements that work on their own but when I place them both into my foreach loop, the second IF gets skipped over. I entered a print "test" line to debug and the word test never appears in the output. I have these in the same foreach so that they align the IP address and device together.

My expected output would be "Device 0 has an ip address of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx newline Device 1 has an ip address of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx newline exit-loop.

$ifconfig = "ifconfig -a";
@nic = qx |$ifconfig| or die ("Can't get info from ifconfig: ".$!);
   foreach (@nic){
      if (/^fjgi([\d.])/){
      $device = $1;
         if (/inet ([\d.]+)/){
         print "test $1\n";
         $ip = $1;
         }
      print "Device $device has the IP Address of $ip\n";
      }
   }
