in thread function to count pending packets in TCP socket

The ss utility comes from iproute2 package. Sources are freely available for you to read and inspect. The utility is specific to Linux networking.

Send-Q is obtained either via netlink(7), or parsing /proc/net/tcp (hexadecimal field named tx_queue). You could do the same in perl program: use getpeername and match the right line. Inefficient and cumbersome, but it might suit your purposes.

Lastly, I would reconsider the approach of building HA/failover capabilities directly into application. Perhaps your questions are better answered on a networking related forum. HAProxy dot org for instance has a mailing list and archive. HtH.
