[Asterisk-Users] h extension seems to wipe variables?

[James Golovich]

Once the call has hungup the AGI functions stop working, so executing an
AGI from an h extension will not do what you expect.  but you can still do
all kinds of perl stuff there, so you could stick the info in mysql or
somewhere else
