There's not any one limit for perl specifically and it's going to vary by OS (and can also vary based on the way the kernel was compiled or how much your sysadmin hates you). No clue on Wintendo variants, but on *NIX-y platforms the BSD::Resource module and / or the ulimit(1) command (or shell builtin) will tell you what it is.

Perl itself doesn't have such limits. But limits may be imposed on by your OS, either as limits for each process, or as system-wide limits (that is, limits that are shared by all processes). Depending on your OS, some limits can't be changed, some can, but require a reboot (some after a recompilation of your kernel) and some can be changed on the fly. But that's all very OS dependent, and has not much to do with Perl.

The maximum number of concurrent connections to a server is not a function of perl, but a function of the server to which you are trying to connect.
