Hello iamnewbie and welcome to the monastery and to wonderful world of Perl

Without enter in the merit of what are you trying to do, the basic question is: how can i interupt a loop every n iteration? use a counter. you can profit of the redo function and more generally speaking of the loop control. Search also ModernPerl for loop control (is here..).

Follow what this oneliner does: 
perl -e "@list=(1..7);$counter=0; foreach $it (@list){if ($counter >= 
+3){print qq(\n\n);$counter = 0; redo}print qq($it\n); $counter++}"

Your case is more complicated because there is there also the port to be associated. But you'll do on your own.

That said i think is not the best strategy: a subroutine will be better and easier: the sub receive as input the port and address list, if that list is bigger than 50, it compose the command shifting the first 50 elements and recall itself with the same port and the remaining list, like (just a draft) 
sub proces_no_more_than_50 {

  my($port,@addresses)=@_;
  if ($#addresses >= 50) {
     &execute( $port, map {shift @addresses} 1..50 );

  }
  else{ &execute($port, @addresses); undef @addresses;}

  &proces_no_more_than_50($port,@addresses) if defined $addresses[0];
}
