If all you need to do is limit the number of simultaneous but otherwise identical connections, Parallel::ForkManager should do the trick. You might have to add a little more logic if you need to use a different target port for each connection, but that's just a pop/push stack.
my @portlist = qw/10001 10002 10003 10004/;
use Parallel::ForkManager;
$pm = Parallel::ForkManager->new(scalar @portlist);
foreach my $target (@targets) {
my $pid = $pm->start and next;
my $port = pop @portlist;
system("telnet $target $port");
push @portlist, $port;
$pm->finish; # Terminates the child process
}
The intelligent reader will judge for himself. Without examining the facts fully and fairly, there is no way of knowing whether vox populi is really vox dei, or merely vox asinorum. — Cyrus H. Gordon

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
