Hi there. I tried changing my IF's to resemble your example but when I run the script I don't get any output. This script from the top will first identify the operating system and then dump into the appropriate loop per the os it finds. For Solaris, $opsys is not true for linux so we jump to the else statement. There is the code as per your suggestion. When I run the script on Solaris is says I am on Solaris but no other data is printed at all.

Would you mind taking another look to see if I missed something?

use strict; 
use warnings;

my($opsys) = "$^O";
print "Hello, your operating system is: $opsys" . "\n";

if ($opsys =~ /linux/) {
   my $ifconfig = "/sbin/ifconfig";
   my @nic = qx |$ifconfig| or die ("Can't get info from ifconfig: $!\
+n");
   for(@nic){
      if (my ($device) = /eth(\d)/){
          if (my ($ip) = /net addr:([\d.]+)/){
              print "Device $device has the IP Address of $ip\n";
          }
      }
   }
} else {
   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";
          }
      }
   }
}
