[rabbitmq-discuss] properties.headers in Perl client

>From what I've seen, most of them just set the headers to an empty
AMQP table with no way of setting them.  I'm taking a look at possibly
updating Net::RabbitMQ (which uses librabbitmq) to accept the headers
and process them, but I'm going to have to dust off the part of my
brain that contains my knowledge of Perl and C :)
