The problem isn't exactly with the GetNumber() method. That method seems to return the correct number (it returns the same number of events that I see in event viewer).

The problem is that when I iterate over...

while ($log->Read((EVENTLOG_SEQUENTIAL_READ|EVENTLOG_BACKWARDS_READ),1
+, my $entry))

...it doesn't include all events I see in EventVwr! If I makeit print out the event details, I can walk through the events and see the code showing me some events but missing others. I can't figure out why it'd be skipping them, as they don't look different to me in any way.
