AGI itself is a call per call application interface.

What you probably want to do is work on an application that communicates
via the manager interface. You can initiate calls, see how many calls
are in progress, collect stats on those calls, and run as a separate
function outside of asterisk.

Check the archives for information on perl modules to interface via the
manager ports.
