[asterisk-users] AMI perl daemon

[Ryan Bullock]

Calling ->action() is going to wait for the originate to finish (even
if you use 'Async'). I think the default timeout for Originate is 60
seconds or so before it fails.

I would recommend reading up on:

http://search.cpan.org/~mlehmann/AnyEvent-5.34/
http://search.cpan.org/~mlehmann/AnyEvent-DBI-2.1/

You could us a timer to periodically poll your database and do
non-blocking originates (with async) with callbacks to catch the
response, update the log, and do the delete.
