This is actually really easy to achieve and I'm surprised that this solution hasn't been forwarded already ...

@LWP::Protocol::http::EXTRA_SOCK_OPTS = ( LocalAddr => '1.2.3.4', Loca
+lPort => '8080' );

These parameters are passed to the IO::Socket::INET class which is created within the LWP::Protocol::http object that is used to fetch HTTP pages. From this module ...

local($^W) = 0;  # IO::Socket::INET can be noisy
my $sock = $self->socket_class->new(PeerAddr => $host,
                                    PeerPort => $port,
                                    Proto    => 'tcp',
                                    Timeout  => $timeout,
                                    KeepAlive => !!$conn_cache,
                                    SendTE    => 1,
                                    $self->_extra_sock_opts($host, $po
+rt),
                                   );

This allows for any of the default options of the IO::Socket::INET class to be re-defined as required.
