Well, uh, first of all, CALLERIDNAME is a builtin variable that cannot
be set directly. You need to use the v1-0 SetCIDName(Brian Roy)
application or the CVS-HEAD Set(CALLERID(name)=Brian Roy) application.
But beyond that, you need to quote your string, so it can see the whole
thing:
$AGI->set_variable("somevar", "\"Brian Roy\"");
If we can get James' blessing, I could be persuaded to take over
development of the Asterisk-perl modules and get some new releases
done.
