This script then connects to FreeSWITCH via ESL (the Event Socket Library) and listens for certain FreeSWITCH events, then reacts to them. This removes the script from the telephony processing loop in the dialplan and eliminates any possible blocking of telephony processing in the dialplan (which seems to be a common problem with many script implementations when called from the dialplan).<o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p xmlns:o="#unknown"> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">This method requires compiling the ESL.pm module which is part of the FS source; this module provides the connection from perl to FS.
