The types of SV in 5.10.0 (from sv.h):

typedef enum {
    SVt_NULL,    /* 0 */
    SVt_BIND,    /* 1 */
    SVt_IV,        /* 2 */
    SVt_NV,        /* 3 */
    /* RV was here, before it was merged with IV.  */
    SVt_PV,        /* 4 */
    SVt_PVIV,    /* 5 */
    SVt_PVNV,    /* 6 */
    SVt_PVMG,    /* 7 */
    SVt_REGEXP,    /* 8 */
    /* PVBM was here, before BIND replaced it.  */
    SVt_PVGV,    /* 9 */
    SVt_PVLV,    /* 10 */
    SVt_PVAV,    /* 11 */
    SVt_PVHV,    /* 12 */
    SVt_PVCV,    /* 13 */
    SVt_PVFM,    /* 14 */
    SVt_PVIO,    /* 15 */
    SVt_LAST    /* keep last in enum. used to size arrays */
} svtype;

As you can see, SVt_RV was removed. It was identical to SVt_IV, and removing it allowed the addition of a new type.

illguts doesn't reflect this change. Filed a bug report

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
