Hello everyone! Consider this small example: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w 

use strict;

use Cairo;
use SWF ':ALL';
use SWF::Constants ':Button';

my $surface = Cairo::ImageSurface->create('argb32', 10, 10); 
my $context = Cairo::Context->create($surface);

It throws an error: 
Cannot convert scalar 0x8130af4 to an object of type Cairo::Surface at
+ cairo_vs_swf.pl line 10.

[download]
But if we remove the line use SWF::Constants ':Button'; everything is OK.

Now, the situation is this: I use both modules in my program, and those constants are necessary in my code. I suppose I could get rid of Cairo, because I have just one subroutine depending on it.
But trying to resolve the error I browsed through the source code of both modules, but as I am not at all fluent in XS (both libraries are written in C) I cannot win over this beast. So if anyone can clarify the matter, I would appreciate it.
Cairo version is 1.01 and ming is 0.3.0.

It's getting late (9PM) so I won't answer for a few hours, and I'm already working 11 hours on this program.
