If you're doing activities via a script, the recommended method is to do this
via the Asterisk Manager Interface.  There is a sample script within the
contrib/scripts directory called astcli, which shows how to do this in Perl.
Note that the script is only available in trunk, though it should work with
other versions of Asterisk.
