No dobt useful. Since you are using ::Handle family, are you sure
this functionality does not exist already? 

At any rate, active Net::SSLeay development nowdays happens in 

http://alioth.debian.org/projects/net-ssleay/
net-ssleay-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org 

May be they can help you and get the patch merged. 

Cheers,
