I have added small code which will check the condition first, if the l
+ine contain Link encap and if it found then get the ethernet address 
+and ip address other wise skip the test.

and here is my changes.
open FILE,"config.txt" or die "cannot open file : $!";
my $interface; # declare the variable
while(<FILE>) {
 if (/Link encap/){
 print "yes";
 # if there are non-space symbols on the start of the line,
 # consider it interface name
 $interface = $1 if /^([\S]+)/; # $1 means first matched () group of s
+ymbols
 # a group of numeric symbols or dots after "inet addr:"
 # is considered an IP-address
 print "$interface => $1\n" if /inet addr:([0-9.]+)/;
 # use /inet6? addr: ?([0-9a-f.]+)/ if you want to match IPv6-addresse
+s
}
}
