Hi, A search of sources on CPAN shows that your module(s) use GvCV()
and/or GvGP() in an lvalue context (i.e. you assign to it).
>From perl 5.13.10 onwards, this will no longer be allowed, and you'll
need to update your source code in such a way as to be compatible with
both existing and the new perls.

Probably the easiest way to do this is to add the following
definitions:

   #ifndef GvCV_set
   #  define GvCV_set(gv,cv)   (GvGP(gv)->gp_cv = (cv))
   #endif
   #ifndef GvGP_set
   #  define GvGP_set(gv,gp)   ((gv)->sv_u.svu_gp = (gp))
   #endif

then replace code like the following:

   GvGP(gv) = gp;
   GvCV(gv) = cv;

with

   GvGP_set(gv, gp);
   GvCV_set(gv, cv);

If you do something like

   SAVEGENERICSV(&(GvCV(gv)))

then you may need to replace it with a custom SAVEDESTRUCTOR() or similar
that does a GvCV_set(gv,old_value) upon restoration.
