Passing variables from dialplan to perl through AGI

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

I am trying to pass a variable from the Asterisk Dialplan to a perl script using the AGI. I am now to this and am very confused at to how exactly this works. Right now in my dialplan I have this:

exten=>1122,1,Answer exten=>1122,n,Read(digit) exten=>1122,n,agi(/home/steve/Desktop/testperlping.pl,${digit}) exten=>1122,n,Hangup()
I want a user to dial the extension 1122, then enter a number from 1-10, and have the number they entered passed into perl using the AGI.

My perl script is as follows:

[code]#!/usr/bin/perl -w
$|=1;

use Net::Ping;
use Asterisk::AGI;

$AGI = new Asterisk::AGI;

my %input = $AGI->ReadParse();

I think I need something here

$AGI->verbose("$numbertheytypedintophone"); #This will display the entered number back to the CLI.[/code]
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What if you try using the System app directly from the DialPlan?
