in thread lvalues in perl prior to 5.16.3 throws "Can't modify reference constructor in lvalue subroutine return"

Thanks to everyone for answers.

The problem is that at home i've got only win7 and production FreeBSD with modern perl versions. Perlbrew don't want to work at my win machine.

Today i've installed few virtualboxes with other oses, will try there on the weekend.

All fails i know are coming from CPANTESTERS, including os and perl versions.

I'll let you know about my further investigation of this issue.

btw, are bugs fixed in 5.16 are still present in prior perl versions?
