[Asterisk-Users] PERL AGI DIALSTATUS

[Paul Tinsley]

While his if statement will never do what he expects (check for the 
value "ANSWER" in $dialstatus) it should work when the call is answered 
as an assignment in an if statement will pretty much always return 
true... and he isn't overwriting a variable he uses in his execute.... 
so the thing should work in that case.

What you mean for your code to say is this:
$AGI->exec('Dial', $dialext);

my $dialstatus =  $AGI->get_variable("DIALSTATUS");

if($dialstatus eq "ANSWER") {
        $Accounting_update->execute($fdatetime,$Cuniq,$UserName,$CalledN);
}

But like I am saying above, that won't fix your problem, without your 
other code there is no way to really diagnose the problem.  The only 
other thing I notice from the blurb is that you have a capital A in 
accounting where every other variable you reference other than $AGI is 
in lowercase.  Are you using strict to make sure you are referencing 
variables that exist?  You can do that by adding the following line to 
the top of your script:
use strict;

you might also try changing the execute line to say:
        
$Accounting_update->execute($fdatetime,$Cuniq,$UserName,$CalledN) or 
print STDERR "update failed!";

So that you would know if it failed....
