I am unable to reproduce this problem with 5.4.5, 5.5.3, 5.6.2 or 5.8.6 on OS X. I don't have a Linux machine handy with a 5.6.x to reproduce. So I can't confirm that the bug is fixed, but there does seem to be code in IO::Socket::INET to take into account both $! and $@ in each error. Anyone care to confirm?
