Ah, ok!
Well, I've just uploaded this to CPAN:
=head1 NAME
ogd - ordered global destruction of objects
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use ogd;
ogd->register( @object ); # for objects from XSUBs only
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module adds ordered destruction of object in LIFO order during global
destruction.
=head1 CLASS METHODS
=head2 register
ogd->register( @object ); # only for blessed objects created in XSUBs
Not all blessed objects in Perl are necessarily created with "bless": they can
also be created in XSUBs and thereby bypass the registration mechanism that
ogd installs for "bless". For those cases, it is possible to register objects
created in such a manner by calling the "register" class function. Any object
passed to it will be registered.
=head1 REQUIRED MODULES
B (any)
Scalar::Util (any)
=head1 ORDER OF LOADING
The C<ogd> pragma installs its own version of the "bless" system function.
Without that special version of "bless", it can not work (unless you
L<register> your objects yourself). This means that the C<ogd> pragma
needs to be loaded B<before> any modules that you want the special
functionality of C<ogd> to be applied to.
=head1 TODO
Examples should be added.
