Mod perl using $session->setVariable inline
Hi, I need to set a variable using a perl script inline. Normally I would use $session->setVariable('some_var',$my_value); However I cant find any options to execute this inline / as an inline action. (I need to evaluate the variable later in the hunting phase of the dialplan hence need it to be an inline action). Is there a way to do this? Or is there another way to achieve the same result, e.g. hacking $session->execute("set","some_var=$my_value") to run as an inline action? Any help would be much appreciated, I've scoured the wiki, confluence and git repo and come up empty. -- Kind Regards Liam Farr
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.

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. Cheers Liam Farr On 11 December 2014 at 06:28, Michael Jerris <mike@jerris.com> wrote:

That perl script will not run at all until the dialplan parsing is complete. You would need to run the perl script inline (which I am not sure we allow) or run the perl script, then transfer to re-enter the dialplan after it is run.

I'm using mod_perl quite intensively, and I do all the logic and bridging from within the Perl script. It works fine, and you don't really need to return the control back to the dialplan. The only concern is, that if you do "bridge" from the script, your perl script stays in memory and finishes only when the call ends. It should be harmless for a modestly loaded server, and for a massive service you would anyway do much better with an external script talking via ESL.

The issue here is he is expecting the value to be set later in the dialplan. That won't work as he's doing. Another option for both of you is to handle the logic in perl, then set vars from perl for what to bridge to, then have a bridge line in the dp fter perl that uses those vars (not a condition).
