Sounds like a job for the Perl cook-book to me. Section 17.11 (Forking Servers) has an example of a server that forks off a new process for each connection it receives. This is similar to what you're doing, except I presume you wish to fork off a new process for each server in your list.

The fork call creates a duplicate of a process, called a child. This child can do whatever it likes, independantly to the parent (including using exec to replace itself with another program).

A very basic framework for what you're after might look like this (adapted from the code mentioned above in the Perl Cookbook):

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

my @servers = qw(LIST OF SERVERS);

foreach my $server (@servers) {
    my $pid;
    next if $pid = fork;    # Parent goes to next server.
    die "fork failed: $!" unless defined $pid;

    # From here on, we're in the child.  Do whatever the
    # child has to do...  The server we want to deal
    # with is in $server.

    exit;  # Ends the child process.
}

# The following waits until all child processes have
# finished, before allowing the parent to die.

1 while (wait() != -1);

print "All done!\n";

That should hopefully give you a good start on solving your problem. Don't hestiate to ask questions if anything doesn't make sense.

All the best,
