sample.pl is the C prog or it calls the c prog?
How does sample.pl set the values you're looking for?

Ask bill gates :) Just kidding (sort of).
Hard to say without knowing what/where/how/who/when these values are being set.
Also IIS is, with all due respect and apologies for being OT, crap.
I'd refer to IIS manual and see what 128 means to it.
Or does 128 come from your c prog, if so what does 128 mean to it?
Or does 128 come from sample.pl, if so what does it mean to it?

We need to see your sample.pl code and know what the c prog
is all about to help you with why the current script is acting a certain way.
