I guess someone will tell me Inline::CPP, but for some reason I'm not going to use it. I've also read the code of Inline::CPP, but failed to understand it.

I know perl has XS to work with C functions. However, how to use XS with the OO features in C++? Can I wrap a method indirectly like this?

The C++ class: 
class Foo {
    void some_method(int arg) {
        do_something;
    }
};

And a C wrapper: 
void some_method(SV* self, int arg) {
    // can I store the pointer as IV?
    SV* inner = SvRV(self);
    Foo* obj = (Foo*) SvIV(inner);
    obj->some_method(arg);
}

and then simply write XS for that C wrapper?
