[Freeswitch-users] ESL help on remote machines

[Jungle Boogie]

Hi All,

I know I'm a little late to the ESL party, but I have a use for it and I want to
try it out.

As the inbound diagram depicts, I would like a perl script on a remote machine
to trigger a simple lua script on the FreeSWITCH machine that generates an outbound call.

-----------
Machine A -
perl esl
-----------
    |
	|
    \/
----------
Freeswitch -
lua originate
----------
	|
	|
	\/
----------
phone call
---------

The perl esl page states the module must be compiled. Does this mean machine
A needs to have the entire FS source code to compile the module?

If the entire src isn't needed, what's it take to install the ESL module
successfully on machine A?

Thanks,
sean
