Ah, thanks.

It seems neither of the two available Perl STOMP modules support STOMP 
1.1, just STOMP 1.0.

In particular the module I'm using, Net::STOMP, doesn't let you pass a 
host header in the CONNECT frame.

I guess I'll be sticking to the / virtual host for a a bit longer!
(It wouldn't be hard to patch the Perl module, but maybe another day 
when I have more tuits..)

Thanks,
Toby
