Submitting through a perl script

[Michael]

I was asked to help a friend out with his site but ran into an issue.
He currently wants a cgi to capture data, if the one of the variables is
less than X, just send an email, if the variable is greater than X, then
send an email and submit all the data collected to a "filename.dll" (don't
cringe too much!).
The issue is how do I submit to that .dll file through my cgi.

Currently it is a POST form in an HTML file that goes directly to that .dll
file. I do not have ANY access to that .dll file and cannot manipulate it in
any way shape or form

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

You can access functions from a dll using the win32::API module.
