...XS mortalizes any SV* that you return via its RETVAL mechanism ... and the description in perlxs seems suspicious to me to (it claims that RETVAL is mortalized via the typemap file, but I'm looking at the typemap and I see no relevant mention of 'mortal' anywhere -- nor any mention of RETVAL.)
Interestingly, RETVAL is mortalized by xsubpp itself (see the generate_output cruft in the xsubpp source) - so it is hardwired into XS... But it usually turns out to do what you want, except for the cases, when it does not.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
