Paul,

You can also set an Asterisk variable and access it with the
get_variable method of Asterisk::AGI:

extensions.conf:
exten => 780,1,SetVar(MyVar=test)
exten => 780,n,AGI(agi_ret_val2.pl)


In agi_ret_val2.pl:

my $var = $agi->get_variable('MyVar');

I'm using this with a proof on concept script.  I'll post it tomorrow
when I'm done.
