PerlCtrl can only implement IDispatch based COM objects and not arbitrary DLLs. I can't think of any way of doing this that won't require writing the actual interface in some other language. So you may have to implement the DLL entry points in C/C++ and then call from there into Perl, either by embedding a Perl interpreter directly, or by using COM to invoke your PerlCtrl based code. I have no idea if you could implement the interface in a different language, like Visual Basic, which would make calling into the IDispatch based interface of PerlCtrl easier. You may want to ask the vendor of the server code for some sample plugins in different languages to see if there is anything you can adopt to your needs.
