Hello, I'm writing a AGI Perl script and use the following lines to initiate a call : $res = $AGI->exec("DIAL $dialstr"); And then : $answeredtime = $AGI->get_variable("ANSWEREDTIME"); The problem is that I need to know immediately when the call has begun. I can have the call duration & establishment time at the end of the call but not in real time when it happend. I tried to use a thread and check with $AGI->get_variable("DIALSTATUS") but it's the same, the answer only comes when the call is finished. Does anyone could give me a little help ? Thanks. Yves
