Hello, so I have been trying for the past few days to understand how to use Win32::Eventlog. I am trying to get the script I am writing to continuously monitor the system to look for specific error codes. However I am running into issues, specifically, it doesn't appear to be monitoring it at all, and it ends prematurely. I know the code may not be pretty, but if someone could take a quick look and point me in the right direction, I would very much appreciate it. 
 while (1) {
    my $Errorlog = Win32::EventLog::new(System) or die "Can't Read the
+ Error Log\n";
    $Errorlog -> Read(EVENTLOG_FORWARDS_READ, 0);
    &ErrorCheck;
    my %event = ( 
        EventID => $ErrorCode,
           EventType => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE,
        Computer => NULL,    
           Source => "System",
        Strings => $Description
    );
    $Errorlog -> Report(\%event);
    close $Errorlog;
}
    sub ErrorCheck {
    if ($Errorlog == '0x683') {
        $ErrorCode = '0x683';
        $Description = "Insert Error Description Here";
    }
