The Perl values of the arguments are converted to the SPVM values by the rule of argument convertion. If the type is non-conforming, an exception occurs. The SPVM return value is converted to a Perl return value by the rule of return value convertion. The SPVM exception is converted to a Perl exception. =head2 CALL INSTANCE METHOD Let's call SPVM instance method from Perl. use SPVM 'Foo'; my $foo = SPVM::Foo->new; my $total = $foo->sum(1, 2); The definition of C<Foo> module is the following. # SPVM/Foo.spvm class Foo { static method new : Foo () { return new Foo; } method sum : int ($x1 : int, $x2 : int) ( return $x1 + $x2; } } =head1 ARGUMENT CONVERSION Perl arguments are converted to SPVM arguments in the following rules. =head2 Argument general exception If the count of given arguments is less than the count of the arguments of the method, an exception occurs.

If any of the following rules does not match, an exception occurs. =head3 Perl non-ref scalar to SPVM string If the SPVM argument type is C<string>, the given Perl non-ref scalar is converted to L<SPVM::BlessedObject::String> object. The given non-ref scalar value is assumed to a Perl decoded string, and is converted to UTF-8 bytes. If the given non-ref scalar value is Perl C<undef>, it is converted to Perl C<undef>. And the following L<"Perl SPVM::BlessedObject::String to SPVM string"> conversion is contined.
