the sl_send_reply needs fixups, I doubt it works properly with this form 
-- it is the reason that option of calling module exported functions in 
perl module is disabled and non-documented.

Moreover, functions executed in openser configuration file return only 
integer values, with special meanings:
http://www.asipto.com/pub/kamailio-devel-guide/#c16return_values

So you cannot return the string value. AFAIK, you can sent an avp inside 
the perl script and then use it in openser configuration file. Try doing 
that, then assign the avp to R-URI and send reply from openser config.

Alternative is to use exec module.

Cheers,
Daniel
