Here is my go, I like this blog entry about arguments in functions: https://www.matheus.ro/2018/01/29/clean-code-avoid-many-arguments-functions/

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use IO::Socket::INET;

sub portCheck {
        my ($server,$port) = @_;
        my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(
                PeerAddr => $server,
                Timeout => 1,
                PeerPort => $port,
                Proto => 'tcp',
        ) || return 0;
        return 1;
}

my @checks = (
        [ 'perlmonks.com',80 ],
        [ 'perlmonks.org',80 ],
        [ 'perlmonks.org',25],
);

my @kids;

for (@checks) {
        my $pid = fork // die;
        if ($pid) {
                push @kids,$pid;
                next;
        }
        exit portCheck(@$_);
}

for (0..$#kids) {
        print "@{$checks[$_]}\n";
        waitpid($kids[$_],0);
        print $? >> 8 ,"\n";
}
