Perl 5.14 change

GvCV is no longer an l-value, which will break embperl.cpp.

The fix is easy, but as I have significant local modifications I'll post the details and let someone else create the patch.

Around line 150:

Code:

       if(gv_stashpv("CORE::GLOBAL", FALSE)) {

                GV *exitgp = gv_fetchpv("CORE::GLOBAL::exit", TRUE, SVt_PVCV);

                GvCV_set(exitgp, perl_get_cv("my_exit", TRUE)); //dies on error

                GvIMPORTED_CV_on(exitgp);

                GV *sleepgp = gv_fetchpv("CORE::GLOBAL::sleep", TRUE, SVt_PVCV);

                GvCV_set(sleepgp, perl_get_cv("my_sleep", TRUE));       //dies on error

                GvIMPORTED_CV_on(sleepgp);

        }

There is at least one other cpp file that has issues compiling against perl 5.13+ due to the GvCV changes.

There's a thread on the Windows forum regarding this.

Edit: EQWParser.cpp
