While I can only comment on what was on the list and not about what may have been sent privately, I think some of the comments should have been taken more lightly as they just showed you more ways to do it.
I admit that it is cool to have been able to do that, I have reservations about "mod_perl"ing a dialplan. Perl is not known for being light weight. Also mod_perl is known for requiring a restart for code changes to be evident. Please don't construe what I said there to be a flame, or a reason not to continue exploring that project. I prefer my perl to be cgi styled so that it goes away when I'm done. Although I could see redoing my oncall redirector in a mod_perl function. I already have done it in perl via AGI, and via PGSQL in extensions.conf. So far I have stuck to using the PGSQL route because it is one less item to fail. If you are a perl programmer just remember TIMTOWTDI.
