[Asterisk-Users] AGI and SET VARIABLE

[Mark Street]

I am having a problem understanding/visualizing the environment of AGI and how 
variables defined there can be used in my dial plan.  I am so close I can 
taste it.  I just want to return a number to dial from a list of numbers in a 
file.

from extensions.conf
[talk2doc]
; Please Hold While I Transfer Your Call
exten => s,1,AGI(pnumber.agi)
exten => s,2,Dial(Zap/2/$[PHONE_NUM]|15)
--------------------------------

in my agi perl script - pnumber.agi 
.....
if ( $cntr >= $#file ) {
        print "SET VARIABLE PHONE_NUM $file[$cntr - 1]";
        $cntr = 1;
}
else {
        print "SET VARIABLE PHONE_NUM $file[$cntr - 1]";
        $cntr++;
}

If I open up a CLI and dial up asterisk and press the appropriate extension I 
can see it run the agi script but no returned var.

 -- Goto (talk2doc,s,1)
    -- Executing AGI("Zap/1-1", "pnumber.agi") in new stack
    -- Launched AGI Script /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/pnumber.agi
    -- AGI Script pnumber.agi completed, returning 0
    -- Executing Dial("Zap/1-1", "Zap/2/$PHONE_NUM|15") in new stack
    -- Called 2/$PHONE_NUM
