i have a perl HASH which is a SWIG wrapper of a C++ object.

if i new the object, and pass the reference around
it sometimes works and sometimes fails. 
if NEW is in MAIN and passed "down", it works
if NEW is in ROUTINE and passed "up", it fails

and hopefully my usage of up/down is clear!
using namespaces : 
if new'd as 
MAIN::object,          -> works in all "lower" routines
if new'd as 
MAIN::routineA::object -> does NOT work in MAIN

you have a interesting point about newSVsv. it looks like i want something like that.
i need a mechanism for PERL to never delete an object
but i wanted to avoid using a GLOBAL variable that is OUR
maybe that is the purpose of OUR?
