On latest Debian versions the command "Ip add show" outputs color chars on interface names. This patch uses the Term::ANSIColor lib to strip them fixing garbage in keys of Rex Template vars. To test the problem simply dump gathered infos from a Debian Trixie (with iproute2 package installed) , and check the output of key interfaces for "$__36m" word: rex -H MyDebian-e "say dump_system_information;" ... $__36mens192_ip = '' $__36mlo_netmask = '' $__36mens192_netmask = '' ....
