You need to call setsockopt on the handle directly - AnyEvent::Handle
cannot offer OS/Kernel-specific options, it has to work on more than just
recent linux kernels.

Getting at the actual constant value is difficult. You either hardcode it,
or, best, write an XS module for it.

All of this is out of the scope for AnyEvent::Handle - you have to set the
option before passing the file handle to AnyEvent::Handle.

AnyEvent:Handle, however, will work just fine with such a handle.
