Confirming what you are seeing, I tried this on a couple of our systems. Solaris, RedHat Linux, and HPUX. Some with 5.6 and some 5.8.

I must be seeing something different than you. I couldn't get the 'tcp' inet_time to work, but 'udp' works like a charm across the board. I checked and the tcp time service just to be sure I wasn't going crazy and it was running on all these servers.

I was just using your one-liner. Is there something else that needs to be done to get the tcp results?

Slightly modified to see if there really was ouput:

# perl -MNet::Time=inet_time -le 'print "1: ", inet_time("localhost", 
+"udp", 10 ), ":\n";'
1: 1056049512:
# perl -MNet::Time=inet_time -le 'print "1: ", inet_time("localhost", 
+"tcp", 10 ), ":\n";'
1: :

This works the same for any of the above type hosts instead of "localhost".

As far as reporting this goes, have you tried the author Graham Barr?
