Ah, I see. On my systems, I get:

===
em1: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        ether f0:de:f1:fc:65:b3  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
===

So the script says "grab any non-space character up to the colon (foo:).
Your now showing a colon, so it fails to match.

Try replacing:

===
	if ($line =~ /^(\S+):/)
===

With:


===
	if ($line =~ /^(\S+)/)
===
