Can we at least pretend to follow the protocol? :)

#!/bin/bash

# discard the AGI variables
         while   [ -s "$(read)" ]
                 do
                 :
                 done

# dial the number from the command line
         echo "exec dial dahdi/g2/$1"

# ignore the response
         read

# (end of agiFile.agi)

At least this way, the 'next guy' won't pull out his hair wondering why 
the response to 'dial' is 'agi_request: agiFile.agi'

BTW, you do not have to name an AGI 'example.agi'. 'example.sh' or just 
'example' will do just fine.

If you don't have PHP or Perl, how about C? You could always compile on a 
VM on another box.
