asterisk users - Feb 2006 - Possible for Asterisk to output CLID to invo ke 3rd party app?

Specifically:

exten => s,1,System(/usr/sbin/myperlscript.pl ${CALLERIDNUM})

will execute myperlscript.pl with the caller id as an argument as the first
priority.

Have you tried System?

Thanks for the replies, the System command was exactly what I needed and I
have now modified my calling plan and it looks like it's going to work
perfectly (it's a little late at home to try testing now in the UK).

My next job is going to be getting to grips with the various codec's and
working out how to tune Asterisk for the best quality/bandwidth ratio, so I
suspect I'll probably be posting a lot more here over the next few weeks
pleading for advice.

Thanks for the help, after one day I seem to have a functioning VoIP system
with ingress and egress pots functionality so I'm very happy.
