On occasion, I have calls coming into an Asterisk 1.2.x system where
the ${CALLERID(num)} includes '-'. Ex:
123-456-7890
How can I strip the dashes from the number, leaving me with
'1234567890'?

I would do this in an AGI written in C -- but that's just me...

There is no such thing as 'a quick run of System()', relatively speaking.
Even a simple system, echo, pipe, sed creates multiple processes. Process
creation is among the most expensive operations (in terms of host
resources) you can do.
A single AGI is much more efficient. A few statements in dialplan are even
more efficient in terms of host resources but can quickly spiral out of
control as complexity rises.
I really like the 'black box' aspect of AGIs, especially when database
access is added.
