Summary:                    AGI->wait_for_digit or AGI->exec('Read'  do not
report digits back on an outgoing call
Description: 
Hi,

I am using a callback conference solution which makes and outgoing call
which points to a perl AGI script (which used to work some versions of
asterisk ago). Now I am running the latest SVN (Asterisk
SVN-branch-1.6.1-r253347) and neither Read nor wait_for_digit give any
digits back on DAHDI channels, or SIP channels.

The same script has worked for a few years from version 1.4 onwards. I
can't remember when it stopped working however (sorry).

xblurone: sorry you right it is other thing.
I did some test and here is a hack what is not nice but working:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Asterisk::AGI;
my $agi = new Asterisk::AGI;


$agi->exec('Read', 'myvar||5||2|10');

$myvar = $agi->get_variable('myvar');
$myvar = $agi->get_variable('myvar');

if ($myvar) {
  $agi->exec('Swift', "\"This variable is set to $myvar\"");
    $agi->exec('SayDigits', $myvar);
    } else {
      print "This variable could not be retrieved or was empty. HERE
IS".$agi->get_variable('myvar');
      $a=$agi->get_variable('myvar');
      print "THE A:".$a;
      }

The important part is, you must double the $myvar =
$agi->get_variable('myvar');
Based on this example i hope you can do a workaround until the fix is
coming, and keep your customers.
