Heres an expanded example;

Extension runs the perl script as part of the public dialplan first;

<extension name="run-script" continue="true">

   <condition>

 <action application="perl" data="/etc/freeswitch/scripts/my-script.pl"/>

   </condition>

</extension>

Script sets some variables;

$my_value = "123";

$session->setVariable('some_var',$my_value);

Use that variable later in another extension in the public dialplan as a condition selector;

<extension name="bridge-call" >

   <condition field="context" expression="public" />

   <condition field="${some_var}" expression="123" >

  <action application="set" data="call_direction=inbound"/>

  <action application="bridge" data="sofia/internal/${destination_number}@1.2.3.4:5060" />

   </condition>

</extension>

However this will fail, because the perl script "$session->setVariable" run earlier is not inline, so you cant make use of it in the condition (<condition field="${some_var}" expression="123" >) in the second extension that exists in a later part of the public dialplan. Hence I need a way to set inline variables from my perl script.

If you are in a perl script using session->setVariable, how are you still in the dialplan?  This doesn't make sense to me.  There should be no need for an inline if you are already in the script.
