I'm having probs with the Win32:EventLog module connecting and processing remote machines' Event Logs. Below is the code. It connects to the remote registry but does not return the text of the event.

use strict;
use Win32::EventLog;

my ($recs, $base, $x, $hashRef);
my $myServer = "\\\\MediaOne";

open(EVENTLOG, ">eventlog_dump.txt") || die "Can't open the file\n"; 

my $handle=Win32::EventLog->new("System", $myServer) || die "Can't ope
+n Application EventLog\n";
$handle->GetNumber($recs) || die "Can't get number of EventLog records
+\n";
$handle->GetOldest($base) || die "Can't get number of oldest EventLog 
+record\n";
while ($x < $recs)
{
    $handle->Read(EVENTLOG_FORWARDS_READ|EVENTLOG_SEEK_READ, $base+$x,
+ $hashRef) || die "Can't read EventLog entry #$x\n";
        if ($hashRef->{Source} eq "SNMP") 
    {
                Win32::EventLog::GetMessageText($hashRef);
                print EVENTLOG "Record: $hashRef->{Message}\n";
        }
        $x++;
}
