As others have mentioned there is no timeout value. pfSense will leave
active connections open, even if idle, for 24 hours at least. A WAN
getting disconnected would flush its states, or there could be something
else involved cutting them off.

Some Linksys kit used to love cutting off idle connections after 10 minutes.

We don't need it in the base system.

Some packages like squid will bring it in. You can always pkg_add -r
perl, or use a full URL to a specific version on FreeBSD's servers or
ours, from http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/ or
http://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/

Careful doing that on NanoBSD though, some large packages can be
problematic there.
