Hi fellow monks, This one has me stumped. I want to use Win32::GUI::AxWindow to load an HTML page and then capture when a user clicks on a link in that page. My intention is to run a subroutine based on the link that is clicked. When I try to capture the BeforeNavigate2 event Perl blows up. I can capture other events fine. Here is the code. What am I doing wrong? 
#!perl
use strict;
use Win32::GUI;
use Win32::GUI::AxWindow;
################ MAIN WINDOW #############
my $FormWindow = new Win32::GUI::Window(
    -name   => "FormWindow",
    -text   => "Test",
    -pos    => [0,0],
    -size    => [400,300],
    );
sub FormWindow_Resize{return 0;}
sub FormWindow_Minimize {return 0;}
sub FormWindow_Maximize {return 0;}
sub FormWindow_Terminate {return -1;}
##########################
# Add a WebBrowser AxtiveX
my $Control = new Win32::GUI::AxWindow  (
    -parent  => $FormWindow,
    -name    => "Control",
    -control => "Shell.Explorer.2",
    #-control => "InternetExplorer.Application",
    #-control => "{8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2}",
    -pos     => [0, 0],
    -size    => [400, 300],
    );  
# # Register some event
#    When I try to register the following events, Perl blows up.
#        NavigateComplete2
#        BeforeNavigate2
#        NewWindow2
#    These events work though
#        DownloadBegin
#        DocumentComplete
#        StatusTextChange

$Control->RegisterEvent("StatusTextChange",
    sub {
        my $self    = shift;
        my $eventid = shift;
        my $str=shift;
        print "Event [$eventid]: ", $str, "\n" if length($str) && $str
+ !~/done/is;
        } 
    );
print "Calling Navigate\n";
# Call Method
$Control->CallMethod("Navigate", 'http://www.google.com');
print "Done\n";
##########################
$FormWindow->Show();
Win32::GUI::Dialog();
exit;
