using the asterisk-perl module from http://asterisk.gnuinter.net/

you would use the get_data function:

my $captured_dtmfs = 
$AGI->get_data('/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/whatever','50000','4');

from the "show agi get data" help

show agi get data
Usage: GET DATA <file to be streamed> [timeout] [max digits]
          Stream the given file, and recieve DTMF data. Returns the digits 
recieved from the channel at the other end.


hope this helps
