$modify_headers = 1;

I.e, a file named bin/filters/nnrpd_filter.pl, containing :

#! /usr/local/bin/perl

sub filter_post {
  $modify_headers=1;
  $hdr{'X-Example'}='test';
  return '';
}

It's that simple.

And the docs can be found in ~news/doc/hook-perl.

Oh, by the way, I compiled a CURRENT snapshot from today, and it
whined about a "hooks-tck" file in the install phase.

Maybe you'd need something like :
