To import the events use:

  use Wx::ActiveX::Event qw(EVT_ACTIVEX EVT_ACTIVEX_IE_NEWWINDOW2 EVT_ACTIVEX_IE_STATUSTEXTCHANGE) ;
  ... or ...
  use Wx::ActiveX::Event qw(:all) ;
  

You can get the list of ActiveX events using GetEventName():

  for(0..($IE->GetEventCount)) {
    my $evt_name = $IE->GetEventName($_) ;
    print "$_> $evt_name\n" ;

    my ( $obj , $evt ) = @_ ;
    $evt->{Cancel} = 1 ;
