Re: DCL & CGI
Is there any particular reason you chose Apache? If not, have a look at WASD - a webserver written specifically for OpenVMS with great support and lots of unique features including full support for DCL as CGI and higher performance than all other VMS webservers.

Re: DCL & CGI
So actually: a CGI procedure on VMS IS a DCL procedure. You have to take care of a few things though. A CGI procededure typically runs under the webserver user. For CSWS that is APACHE$WWW. This is a 'normal' user without privileges, which complicates things a bit. But $SHOW SYSTEM would not be a problem

Re: DCL & CGI
I have uploaded an example of a CGI script that can be used on VMS.

Re: DCL & CGI
Here's probably the simplest example:
http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/277
I've also included a chapter on this topic in the second edition of the Writing Real Programs in DCL Book. That book is out of print, though copies do show up occasionally. ISBN 1-55558-191-9.
For non-trivial displays and operations and sequences, DCL is comparatively more involved here than using php or Perl or other languages. With DCL, you're rolling your own CGI environment and tools, where other environments have mechanisms and libraries and assists available to programmers.

Other approaches for remote data collection here include SNMP (installed via SMH or such) and remote monitoring tools.
