<DIV>ok forget it .... </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I was telling a story of what inspired me to write this module </DIV>
<DIV>that embeds a perl interpreter into the asterisk process and </DIV>
<DIV>to see if anyone was interested in it (IT'S AN EXPERIMENT)</DIV>
<DIV>What I get are several replies telling me to RTFM and I would no longer need to solve the problem that inspired my original idea.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>Does it matter if my original problem could be resolved </DIV>
<DIV>by RTFM or not?. I'm glad I did'nt't or I would never have gotten the </DIV>
<DIV>Idea since the end-result is barely related to that problem.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Testing expressions in variables is not even the reason to use the module</DIV>
<DIV>the module allows you to run perl code from within and perform </DIV>
<DIV>a whole bunch of tasks using perl (RTFM) The example I put </DIV>
<DIV>in the README just happens to show how to perform an eval</DIV>
<DIV>on an expression using the new perl functionality the module </DIV>
<DIV>implements</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I could just as easily show an example how to </DIV>
<DIV>connect to a database on startup and create extensions </DIV>
<DIV>on the fly or how to make a web server that runs inside asterisk </DIV>
<DIV>(If any of these already are possible sorry again for being inventive or for wanting to do it in perl whichever you want to hang me for.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sheesh </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please don't bother to further discern what I did and did not read </DIV>
<DIV>or to look for a typo and flame me for it. This list gets enough traffic as it is and there is no need to waste bandwidth to tell me I don't totally </DIV>
<DIV>know how to work asterisk cos I already know I'm simply playing with it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I only have 2 weeks total experience with asterisk so I can tell </DIV>
<DIV>you in advance I have a ton of docs to read. I just thought </DIV>
<DIV>I'd share my findings so far since I was under the impression this was a forum. sorry...... </DIV>
