I am reading Event logs from a Windows XP PC, and the ID shown in my Perl script is very different than the ID listed by Microsoft or shown in their GUI tool. For example, when I look for event ID 1704, my perl script reports the ID as 1073743528; similarly,  event ID 1054 is reported by Perl as -1073740770.  Any ideas on why this is happening or how I can map the Perl numbers back to the original Microsoft ID?
 
Thanks.
