The documentation says:
In order to use this feature, you must have Win32::EventLog::Message installed.
However this module does not come with a Makefile.pl and can not properly be installed using cpan tooling. (also, it is not indexed on metacpan, but that is a minor issue).
Here's the source: http://search.cpan.org/~daveroth/Win32-EventLog-Message/
I've tried to get in contact with Mr Roth, creator of that module before, and he is no longer responsive, he might even have passed away, I'm not sure.
Also in the demo code (that is not working because of an uninstallable prerequisite) there is this line:
$dispatch->add( Log::Dispatch::Win32EventLog->new(
source => 'MySourceName',
register => 'System',
);
It misses one closing ')'.
