the ifconfig -a prints the following. The device name and ip are NOT on the same line. I don't know how to say look for x on line 1 and tell me y on line 2 after the second regex find..... Can I do that in Perl?

output of command

cccadm@redsox::perl: ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu
