Perl
From FreeSWITCH Wiki
In FreeSWITCH, there are many ways to use Perl, not all of which require the mod_perl module or the CPAN Perl modules. You can use Perl in the following ways with FreeSWITCH:
- Executing Perl scripts via curl etc to return XML configuration (only requires the curl module)
- Sockets control / event socket interaction (send and receive events, execute commands, and IVR over socket interaction) through Perl ESL (does not require mod_perl only the Perl ESL module).
- Application action / Standard execution to carry out a dialplan (requires mod_perl)
- Native XML generation (requires mod_perl)
If you want/need the advanced control that mod_perl provides please see the mod_perl page for the full documentation on it.

Build/Install
There is no one way to install Perl support, as outlined above you can use Perl many different ways each having different requirements. See the mod_perl page for building mod_perl.
Execution of a script
You can run scripts directly from the console with:
perlrun /path/to/your/script.pl
If you want to just run a perl script(or any normal application) from a dialplan by:
<action application="system" data="/path/to/app.pl"/>
Example Scripts
- mod_perl examples on mod_perl page.
