use Some::Module imports symbols from that package, if any, into the
current namespace.  Your passed subroutine is being used in a different
namespace.

Now, if you put use Mac::Events at the top of the file, and call
Mac::Events::DispatchEvent($_[1]->event) like you did, it should work,
becuase there is no DispatchEvent to call, only Mac::Events::DispatchEvent.
Another thing to try would be something like this at the top of the program
file:

   package Mac::Navigation;  # or whatever package will be using the sub
   use Mac::Events;

   package main;
   # now do everything else
