  The server has no limits on the number of sockets it can use.  That is
all enforced by the OS.

  Or, maybe there's an issue with Perl.

  I would also check why you need 1000 threads.  That's a lot.  Maybe
it's that your Perl script is slow.  Or, your database is slow.

  I'd also suggest skipping syslog in Perl.  The server has a "linelog"
module, which can do logging to syslog.  Just put the log messages into
an attribute, and let the linelog module handle it.
