asterisk users - May 2008 - Manager API - Setvar not working

Hi all,
I am using a simple perl script to connect with ast manager api. the script
tries to set a channel variable. It extracts the channel name from the
events it recieves after dial command. When i try to set the channel
variable, asterisk responses with an error saying that the channel does not
exist. Can anybody tell me why its doing so, coz i can see on cli that the
channel exists. If i try to set the variable without stating the channel
then it sets the global variable, but i want to set the channel variable.
Anybody has a solution to this problem?

In 1.6 you can set a channel variable from a diferent context. I don't
think you can do that in 1.4 .
