No, current perl code will pass 4 rather raw data structures to the
script's "process_event": pevent->header, evel->attr, sample, sample->raw_data

XPUSHs(sv_2mortal(newSVpvn((const char *)pevent, pevent->header.size)));
XPUSHs(sv_2mortal(newSVpvn((const char *)&evsel->attr, sizeof(evsel->attr))));
XPUSHs(sv_2mortal(newSVpvn((const char *)sample, sizeof(*sample))));
XPUSHs(sv_2mortal(newSVpvn((const char *)sample->raw_data, sample->raw_size)));

my patch only have the last 3 ones plus extra event_name/dso_name/symobl,
while missing the "pevent->header", do you want me to add it?
