Just to clarify further the confusing part : what was meant by the original 
ref() test in Perl code is simply  "is the argument a complex/composite 
object, like an array or a hash" ... 
Perl has no way to pass such an object directly in the @_ array because it 
would be flattened, so Perl coders use references to hashes or arrays (e.g 
foo(\@bar) )
This has nothing to do with C++ refs, which are handled by the handlers.cpp

Otherwise, good news: I eventually "solved" the linux dl problem by simply 
doing LD_PRELOAD=<path>/Qt.so the_prog.rb
Bliss! :-)
