Re: [mh] lib/asterisk.pm

[Jason S. <ja...@sh...>]

Although I cannot recall doing it, the file looks oddly familiar to my 
coding style (and has my old area code as an example number)  As to the 
naming conflict, it would appear that this file was created a long 
while ago (Nov 2003), possibly before the CPAN lib existed.

I can confirm upon review that it is does not offer any purpose 
other than to rename an old versoin of the base class that I created, 
telephony_item.pm and should be removed.
