[asterisk-users] "Real" API for Perl?

[Alex Balashov]

Well, no, there really aren't any prebuilt high-level frameworks for 
approaching Asterisk through the Manager API or AGI.  Instead, there are 
just AGI bindings that allow you to integrate dial plan logic with 
outboard code.

I always figured that was kind of the whole point of such bindings, so 
nothing about it strikes me as incomplete or lacking in a sufficient 
degree of "reality."  The only difference between this and Asterisk-java 
is simply that the latter encapsulates many of these actions in more 
high-level wrappers, which is likely to be a concession to the 
phenomenology of Java Thinking(TM) more than anything else.

Your mileage may vary.
