Hi, I am trying to learn XS and I was having a problem returning from C to Perl an object that is not the packaged object. My code is posted below. I've tried all kind of trick from different sources without success. Would you please help me? Thank you, 

rect* rect::get_bbox(rect** rect_list,int num_rect) {
   double minx = (*rect_list)->x1();
   double miny = (*rect_list)->y1();
   double maxx = (*rect_list)->x2();
   double maxy = (*rect_list)->y2();
   int i;
   for (i=1;i<num_rect;i++) {
      double tmp_minx = (*(rect_list+i))->x1();
      double tmp_miny = (*(rect_list+i))->y1();
      double tmp_maxx = (*(rect_list+i))->x2();
      double tmp_maxy = (*(rect_list+i))->y2();
      if (tmp_minx < minx)
         minx = tmp_minx;
      if (tmp_maxx > maxx)
         maxx = tmp_maxx;
      if (tmp_miny < miny)
         miny = tmp_miny;
      if (tmp_maxy > maxy)
         maxy = tmp_maxy;
   }
   rect* result;
   rect r(minx,miny,maxx,maxy);
   *result = r;
   return (result);
}
