Wow, replying to myself. After reading a doc called "XS Mechanics" I did a last try, and this worked:

######################################################################
+###
MODULE = OpenCA::OpenSSL                PACKAGE = OpenCA::OpenSSL::CRL

void
DESTROY(crl)
        OpenCA_OpenSSL_CRL crl
    CODE:
        fprintf(stderr, "DESTROY\n");
        X509_CRL_free(crl);

[download]

I am not 100% sure why this works, but as I read in the XS Mechanics, it seems that Ptr is only used/converted when a * is in the object, and as this is not the case, we don't need the Ptr at all, so the DESTROY can be in the OpenCA::OpenSSL::CRL package directly

Sigh... I have been all weekend fighting with this, and never tried this :(
