What OS, perl version and IO::Socket versions are you using ?
There is useful disgnostic instruction, as well as proposed solutions at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58122.
"On some operating systems the Perl module IO::Socket reports obscure error
on unsuccessful connect() in non-blocking mode as: "Invalid argument" in
place of the true cause: "Connection refused". The remote service should be
checked if available and accessible (firewall rules? network problems?).
Another possible reason for "Invalid argument" reported by IO::Socket when
running within chroot jail is some network-related system file missing in a
chroot jail, e.g. /etc/protocols, /etc/services, /etc/netconfig,
/etc/resolv.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/hosts, /etc/host.conf
-- depending on the operating system in use. System debugging tools
(debugger, strace, truss) may help to find the cause. "

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
