Patch to substitute packge version during src_prepare

g-cpan generated package files include a line that references the package version - for example:
  # This ebuild generated by g-cpan 0.17.0

This version number is hard coded in the lib/App/gcpan.pm source file, for example:
  our $VERSION = '0.17.0';

This bug report presents a patch to the g-cpan ebuild that edits this line during the src_prepare() phase, so that it matches the full package version.

Initial patch substituted ${PVR}.
However, the $VERSION variable has to be numeric only - so patch changed to only use ${PV}
