gw:51295->94.102.51.57:afs3-fileserver (ESTABLISHED)   

It's using local port 51295. But that's irrelevant as ports for outgoing 
connections are dynamically allocated.

Which is exactly what the rogue perl script was using to connect to it's "home".
Once established this connection could have been used for allmost anything,

your LAN.
