Hi all,
I am using a simple perl script to connect with ast manager api. the script
tries to set a channel variable. It extracts the channel name from the
events it recieves after dial command. When i try to set the channel
variable, asterisk responses with an error saying that the channel does not
exist. Can anybody tell me why its doing so, coz i can see on cli that the
channel exists. If i try to set the variable without stating the channel
then it sets the global variable, but i want to set the channel variable.
Anybody has a solution to this problem?

In 1.6 you can set a channel variable from a diferent context. I don't
think you can do that in 1.4 .

My guess would be that you have a problem with line endings.

All lines received from the manager interface are terminated with \r\n,
not just \n. If you only strip the \n off, the channel name you received
will contain \r at the end. If you then send that back in the setvar
command with a further \r\n to terminate the line, then Asterisk will
probably not find a matching channel.

Make sure you strip both \r and \n from incoming lines.

Cheers
Tony

My guess that Setvar was deprecated in Asterisk 1.4. Use Set instead if you
are trying to use it in 1.6

Can anybody help in parsing the manager events efficiently? Any ideas?

Since you're using perl, have a look at POE-Component-Client-Asterisk-Manager
here: http://search.cpan.org/~xantus/POE-Component-Client-Asterisk-Manager/

You would need to use the POE event-driven framework.

Or you could try Asterisk::Manager in asterisk-perl-0.10

I haven't tried either of them - most of my Manager stuff is in C.

Cheers
Tony
