take a look here the current_event_xxx functions are bound:
http://www.neces.com/gtk2-perl/gtk2-perl-doc/Gtk2/main.html#event_or_undef_Gtk2_
so you should be able to use it in your situation.

the other option would be to connect a signal handler to event for the
widget with an event mask letting through only the ones you want. that
signal provides the event as a parameter. i thought there was an example
of this somewhere but i can't seem to find it at the moment.
