Well, the problem here is, that you will have to have the handler... the trick
is this:

add a handler for the invite
set up a flag that says whether to handle the invite or not (Use a global
variable)
when the invite handler gets called, check the flag
process if necessary and clear the flag.

now, when the command is called that initiates the whole thing will send the
invite request... and set the flag to handle the invite.

your first lines of the invite handler could be as simple as:
  return undef unless $Handle_Invite_Flag;
  $Handle_Invite_Flag = undef;
  # code to process the invite follows
