This message comes from the typemap for T_PTROBJ:
T_PTROBJ
if (sv_derived_from($arg, \"${ntype}\")) {
IV tmp = SvIV((SV*)SvRV($arg));
$var = INT2PTR($type,tmp);
}
else
Perl_croak(aTHX_ \"%s: %s is not of type %s\",
${$ALIAS?\q[GvNAME(CvGV(cv))]:\qq[\"$pname\"]},
\"$var\", \"$ntype\")
This definition is found in .../ExtUtils/typemap in the directory tree where
perl is installed.

When dealing with C structures one should select either T_PTROBJ or T_PTRREF
for the XS type. Both types are designed to handle pointers to complex
objects. The T_PTRREF type will allow the Perl object to be unblessed while
the T_PTROBJ type requires that the object be blessed. By using T_PTROBJ
one can achieve a form of type-checking because the XSUB will attempt to
verify that the Perl object is of the expected type.
I suspect that you want to be using T_PTRREF rather than T_PTROBJ. You can read
more about the different types in Typemap.xs:

Welc.
I see no problem with asking beginner XS questions on a Perl beginners group.
but you might not find a large number or people who are able and willing to
help. Fortunately, there is a mailing list for XS. Details can be found at
http://lists.perl.org/list/perl-xs.html
Although the list is quite low in volume, you'll find people there who can
help further.
Good luck.
