hello - am getting compilation errors in building older mod_perl with newer perl. Things worked as of 5.12.X, but alas, not with today's 5.14.1
eg. http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/GOZER/mod_perl-1.31/Symbol/Symbol.xs Symbol.xs: In function 'undef': Symbol.xs:33: error: invalid lvalue in assignment This appears to be due to changes in the perl distro as outlined at http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5140delta.html#C-API-Changes GvCV() and GvGP() are no longer lvalues The new GvCV_set() and GvGP_set() macros are now provided to replace assignment to those two macros. This allows a future commit to eliminate some backref magic between GV and CVs, which will require complete control over assignment to the gp_cv slot. CvGV() is no longer an lvalue Under some circumstances, the CvGV() field of a CV is now reference-counted. To ensure consistent behaviour, direct assignment to it, for example CvGV(cv ) = gv is now a compile-time error. A new macro, CvGV_set(cv,gv)has been introduced to run this operation safely. Note that modification of this field is not part of the public API, regardless of this new macro (and despite its being listed in this section). CvSTASH() is no longer an lvalue The CvSTASH() macro can now only be used as an rvalue. CvSTASH_set() has been added to replace assignment to CvSTASH(). This is to ensure that backreferences are handled properly. These macros are not part of the API. Any witnesses/experiences/thoughts on this? thanks in advance! gleeco
