Here's my guess for what you're trying to do. (Leaving the rename part incomplete in honor of your leaving the connection part incomplete.) 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict; # https://perlmonks.org/?node_id=11146781
use warnings;
use Path::Tiny;
use Time::HiRes qw( time );
use IO::Socket;

my $port = 3143; # to my https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Hunt_the_Wumpus#
+Perl

my @ips = map "192.168.1.$_:$port", 10 .. 20; # FIXME for testing
my $logfile = path( "/tmp/d.11146781,log" );  # FIXME filename
my $timeoutin = 0.1;                          # FIXME short for testin
+g

$logfile->spew( localtime() . " begin\n" );
my $start = time;
for my $ip ( @ips )
  {
  if( my $pid = fork ) {} # parent
  elsif( defined $pid ) # child
    {
    my $status = IO::Socket::INET->new( # test for connection
      PeerAddr => $ip,
      Timeout => $timeoutin,
      ) ? 'ok' : $@ =~ s/.*: //r;
    $logfile->append( sprintf "%s %s in %.3fs\n", $ip, $status, time -
+ $start );
    exit;
    }
  else { die "$! on fork" } # failure
  }
1 while wait >= 0;
$logfile->append( localtime() . " end\n" );
print $logfile->slurp; # FIXME for testing
# rename here...

Note: I am using Path::Tiny ->append because it does file locking. I consider the fact that it is also doing open and close as insignificant.
