[rabbitmq-discuss] properties.headers in Perl client

Tue Dec 21 20:47:05 GMT 2010

Hi vickerto,

I can confirm that POE::Component::Client::AMQP (by Eric Waters) lets 
you set headers. This works for me:

     $queue->publish($msg,
       {
         headers => { 'key' => 'value'}
       }
     );

Regards

Emile
