Using the following code gives a different error about scoping

Global symbol "%nic" requires explicit package name

for my $nic (networkInfo()) {
    print "Device: $nic{device} has IP Address $nic{ip}\n" .
        "\tMask: $nic{mask}\n" .
        "\tBroadcast: $nic{bcast}\n";
    print "Device: $nic{device} also IPv6 address $nic{ip6}\n"
        if defined($nic->{device});
}
