[asterisk-users] Run AGI while agent ringing instead of only when connected

[Todd Routhier]

Thanks again Danny, Perl was the first thing I tinkered with back in the
90's but haven't messed with it for years.

Looking over what you sent, I get about 90% of what's going on there. With
a little searching and brushing up on my Perl, I think I will be able to
make this work.

This is a good solution and, if I can get this to work, I won't even need
the AGI. I can basically just hit what I need using CURL within the Perl
script (I think).

All the AGI was going to do for me is hit a URL with some parameters out on
the Internet. So, pretty sure I can do all that within the Perl Script and
leave AGI out of it completely.
