I am searching for a port forwarding package in perl

Why Perl? (When all you have is a hammer, all your problems start to look like nails).

My basic requirement is to have a platform independent snooping tool between two servers

It sounds to me you want something like Socat. (The site seems to be down at the moment, although it does rate a mention on Freshmeat). Otherwise search around on the web.

socat will do all you want and more. Take the time to learn how to use it, and it will reward you greatly.
