Is there any extra information available from the SGML document?

The SGMLS object which you created at the beginning of the parse has several methods available in addition to next_event -- you will find them all listed in table 7. There should normally be no need to use the notation and entity methods, since SGMLS.pm will look up entities and notations for you automatically as needed.
