Change 27284 by nicholas@nicholas-saigo on 2006/02/23 14:49:22

	Integrate:
	[ 27002]
	Code assumes that *FOO{SCALAR} will always return a scalar reference,
	so make it so, creating $FOO if necessary.
	(Effectively this is a policy decision that PERL_DONT_CREATE_GVSV is
	visible to XS code, but isn't visible to Perl code)
