I've successfully created an Win32::OLE object which gives me about 95% of the functionality available with this particular 3rd party application. The latest piece that I'm trying to get working is a callback. Here's what the documentation shows for VB interaction:

RegisterEventCB takes a long, and a reference to a form with a HSEvent(parms as variant) method declared public. 

    Private Sub Form_Load()
      Set hs = New HS.Application
      hs.RegisterEventCB 3, Me
    End Sub

Here is a snippet from my Perl version, which doesn't throw an error, but passing $cb to Data::Dumper shows its empty. 
    $obj = Win32::OLE->CreateObject('HS.Application');
    $self = bless {};
    $cb = $obj->RegisterEventCB(3,$self);
    print Dumper(\$cb);

    sub HSEvent{
        print Dumper(\@_);
        }

Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks in advance.
