well no, but i know how to do it in AGI

exten => s,1,wait,2
exten => s,2,AGI,shell.agi

then create a file called shell.agi in the /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/ 
directory (make sure it has the right permissions - chmod 774 shell.agi i 
think) containing this (again i think - not tested code):

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Asterisk::AGI;
$AGI = new Asterisk::AGI;
my %input = $AGI->ReadParse();
my $callerid = $input{'callerid'};

system(/bin/script $callerid);


hope this helps
