asterisk users - Nov 2013 - Make phone ring through webserver using Asterisk

What is the easiest way? And how can it be implemented?

I thought to something like:

   1. I request a page to the webserver
   2. Perl sends to asterisk a number to dial (Perl and asterisk are
   running in the same machine)
   3. Asterisk calls the phone

or

   1. A Perl sip client registers to remote asterisk server
   2. Perl sip client sends to asterisk the number to dial
   3. Phone rings

i don't care if i can hear something, it's enough that it rings

Or make the script place a call file [0].

What do you want to happen once the call is made?
You can choose to fire the call off using the originate command with the
Asterisk Manager Interface from a PHP page or some other similar language. No
need for Perl on the Asterisk box at all really unless you need it for something
else.

Just inject a callfile into /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/ .  One end is the 
extension you want to ring, the other end is a dummy extension in a special 
context which  (optionally)  can play music down the line.

Just do it exactly like an alarm call, but without using `touch` to set a 
future timestamp on the callfile.
