I'm not sure why you are defining typemaps like that.   You do realize 
that by defining a typemap in the way shown, you are collapsing all of 
those arguments down so a single scripting language object.  Yes?
In any event, the only way to make overloaded methods work with
typemaps is to write a bunch of typecheck rules that disambiguate
arguments.   To see how to do that, look at the perl5.swg file in the
SWIG library.

Cheers,
