CGI runs executable files -- not DLLs. DLLs are not directly
executable. As the name infers, they are Dynamic Link
Libraries that are used by applications.

Your DLL is likely an
ISAPI DLL designed to work with IIS. This has some performance
benefits since the DLL is loaded once by the IIS exe into
its memory space, whereas CGI exes must run-execute-close
each time they are needed.


Further, a CGI exe must
conform to the input/output requirements of CGI.
Try calling your exe directly.
