I’m surprised that FS 1.2 would even compile with all those cobwebs J Bote From: SamyGo Sent: Friday, 13 March, 2015 23:00 To: FreeSWITCH Users Help Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] Perl ESL not responding ! Yup, couple years back it was the game, Im just doing the dist-upgrade to see what happens. So, thinking that Im using old version I also tried the v1.2.stable branch and same results.

Thanks Stanislav I'll try that dialler code as well..but yeah did the same Perl ESL installation. I did install the perl development libraries which are required for the esl perlmod. So, again I compiled as per the mentioned github link and tried running everything over again , :( sadly no joy.

It has worked for me always but I've a new installation where I've compiled perl ESL library and when I try to make test scripts run they don't do anything at all. The perl code accepts the ESL library, executes the ESLConnection() function but afterwards any command I send is not seen on the ESL socket ! Here is one of the test scripts from freeswitch source: #!/usr/bin/perl use lib '/usr/src/freeswitch/libs/esl/perl'; require ESL; my $command = shift; my $args = join(" ", @ARGV); my $con = new ESL::ESLconnection("localhost", "8021", "ClueCon"); if (! $con) { die "Unable to establish connection to $host:$port\n"; } $con->events("plain","all"); while ( $con->connected() ) { my $e = $con->recvEventTimed(0); print $e->serialize; } It just doesn't go in the while() loop. No $con established but no error as well ! I tried "telnet" to the 8021 port and only then I see packets on port 8021. I know that there is something fishy with the perl ESL compilation but that didn't gave any error either and created the required ESL.so w/o complaining ! Can anyone help me on figuring out what I've missed ? Best Regards, Sammy
