 |
|
Hi, all. I've used the perl/AGI interface, and... well, I found it kind
of hokey. Granted, this was in 1.2 days -- perhaps things have changed.
Regardless, I guess I have two questions:
1) Has the Perl/AGI "binding" improved since then?
2) Is there any chance of a "real" API for Perl?
Thanks much!
-Ken

What is your criterion of "real"? That is to say, what do you need that
it does not provide?
I've used AGI and FastAGI in Perl extensively and it is yet to fail to
serve my purposes.

Maybe Ken is referring to a pre made framework like Asterisk-Java or PasAGI. I
don't know perl so maybe there *is* a framework already.

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.

I thought that the OP was asking for something to perl what Asterisk-Java does
for java coders. I would definitely consider Asterisk-Java to be a framework,
though not so much with PasAGI which is more of an class object wrapper around
AGI functions that I wrote a while back because I'm lazy that way

I'm not sure what your point is, but I'll say that I'm a definite proponent of
abstraction layers provided they don't bar access to lower level logic when I
need it. I think you'll agree that good abstractions lend themselves to reuse
and reduced development time (easy of use, less runtime logic errors, easier to
extend, etc).

There is actually a couple of CPAN packages for interacting with the AMI
in an event oriented fashion.

Enjoy!
