"/etc-test/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-$nic->{device}");

should read

"/etc-test/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-$nic_in->{device}");

- you missed a search and replace. If you are using strict and it did not get caught, that would be for the reason I detailed before.

If print "<$nic_in>\n"; is not outputting something that looks like <HASH(0x236e88)>, then you are passing it an undefined value. Are you calling the subroutine with something that looks like getPlatformFiles($platform,$nic);? Are you sure $nic is defined?
