Why are you printing the IP address when you have haven't found one (i.e. when the inner if hasn't been entered)? Don'thide errors. Please use use strict; use warnings;!

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

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

Are you sure there's a line that both starts with fjgi and contains inet? I'm not familiar with the output of ifconfig, but I suspect that isn't the case.
