Is there a way to query the mouse status to see if a button is depressed on Win32 using perl?

I am aware of Win32::Gui and the _Onclick event but what if you want to see if the mouse was clicked in an object that does not support the onclick event.

adding -onclick to an AxWindow does not seem to work so I am looking for an alternate solution to determining is the mouse was clicked.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

#!perl
use strict;
use Win32::GUI;
use Win32::GUI::AxWindow;
require 'subs_common.pl';
################ MAIN WINDOW #############
my $FormWindow = new Win32::GUI::Window(
    -name   => "FormWindow",
    -text   => "Test",
    -pos    => [600,50],
    -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],
    -onClick => \&clickEvent,
    );
