Thats actually a really good idea, We do use alot json stuff here, this might be a simpler way for me to do this, because I'd like to create 2 versions where I can run one on my machine, then use another to reference the database, but still not sure if I could reference mysql database on my local machine. i'll post more data once I get that connection working. This is what I have so far though. 
    my $database = "asterisk";
    my $user = "root";
    my $host = 192.168.8.50;
    my $password = 123;

    my $dbhA = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:$database,$host","$password") o
+r die "Couldn't connect to database: ".DBI->errstr;

using DBI What would you recommed DBI vs DBD::mysql?
