I am creating ruby objects from C++ and need to know how to tell the =
ruby garbage collector that I don't want them collected.  =
rb_global_variable variable would look to be what I need however there =
doesn't seem to be a function to tell the garbage collector that I have =
finished with the object and it can collect it.

Also I am creating the objects using   myobject =3D =
rb_eval_string("Myclass.new()") , is this right way to do this or is =
there some cleaner way?

Thanks
