[Asterisk-Users] executing an agi script after a successful Dial

[Dan Fernandez]

John

Thanks for the response.  This seems to be what I am looking. However, I
have discovered a problem with a simple perl script triggered from the h
extension.

I am using perl-Asterisk and if I call the script from any extension in
works fine. However, if I call the same script from h the get_variable and
verbose functions don´t work anymore.
