This function grants C<"SUPER"> token as a postfix of the stash name. The
GV returned from C<gv_fetchmeth> may be a method cache entry, which is not
-visible to Perl code. So when calling C<perl_call_sv>, you should not use
+visible to Perl code. So when calling C<call_sv>, you should not use
the GV directly; instead, you should use the method's CV, which can be
obtained from the GV with the C<GvCV> macro.
These functions have the same side-effects and as C<gv_fetchmeth> with
C<level==0>. C<name> should be writable if contains C<':'> or C<'
''>. The warning against passing the GV returned by C<gv_fetchmeth> to
-C<perl_call_sv> apply equally to these functions.
+C<call_sv> apply equally to these functions.
