Using system() is almost always a hack -- and not the good kind :)

You have a choice: you can pass them as channel variables or as command
line options. I use both, frequently in the same program. Unfortunately, I
can't clearly articulate why I use one over the other. If the variable is
something that exists for the life of the call like ${CLIENT-ID} I tend to
access it as a channel variable. If it's something that modifies the
behavior of the AGI (--debug or --verbose) I always pass it as a command
line option and use getopt_long()
First, you need to pick a language. If this is a SOHOish hobby project, it
doesn't matter -- pick a language you are comfortable with.
If this is a high volume, performance critical project -- I'd vote for c.
Once you've decided on a language, search out an established AGI library
and learn a bit about the protocol. It's very simple but not always
obvious. The 3 biggest stumbling blocks that trip up programmers are:
1) You have to read the AGI environment before anything else.
2) It's a request followed by a response. If you don't read the response,
bad things will happen.
3) It's STDIN/STDOUT based. If you try to debug by writing variables or
messages using echo/printf/puts/etc, bad things will happen.
