Victor,
	Have you looked at res_perl yet? It is included in the 
Asterisk-Addons package and allows you to load a single Perl Interpreter 
for the Asterisk process (like mod_perl for apache) and call scripts 
directly from the dial-plan. It should scale a heck of a lot better than 
AGI, and give you a lot more flexibility, as it exposes the entire 
Asterisk API.
