Well that test script works for me (running as root) 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;

use Nmap::Scanner;
use Data::Dumper;

my $scan = Nmap::Scanner->new();
$scan->add_target('localhost');
$scan->add_scan_port('16310-16316');
$scan->tcp_syn_scan();
my $results = $scan->scan();

print Dumper($results);

(I truncated the answer as it's rather too verbose, but rest assured it's showing the port status) This is using Nmap::Scanner 1.0 
# perl -v

This is perl 5, version 12, subversion 4 (v5.12.4) built for x86_64-li
+nux-gnu-thread-multi
(with 45 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
