You should get used to using 'strict' and warnings

  #!/bin/perl -w
  use strict;

>$host = @ARGV[0];

That should be $ARGV[0].

>$port = @ARGV[1];

Why not:

  my ($host, $port) = @ARGV;

>@reply = `echo " " | telnet $host $port`;
>if $reply[1] =~ /Connected/ {

You're missing the ()'s around the conditional:

  if ($reply[1] =~ /Connected/) { ... }

>     print "Port is up\n";
>else
>     print "Port is down\n";

Why not tell us the error message, by the way?
