No, at that point they are in scope. But the problem is, they are referenced within the object (and used in another XS method). Perl thinks they are out of scope after the constructor is called, but this isn't the case here. This means I need to increase the reference count and this is the part I don't know how to do in XS. How do I increase the reference count in the constructor, where I get the two objects (and decrease upon destroy).
When writing this all down, I think I am better off refactoring parts of the XS code to perl and have the perl interpreter manage the reference counting...
