Dividend Yield Term Structure in BS process

g m-10
Hi,
I'd like to generate a Black Scholes process (GeneralizedBlackScholesProcess class) with a dividend yield term structure (a piecewise curve),
My problem is that I didn't find an adapted object to model my structure. logically, the PiecewiseYieldCurve class seemed to be the right candidate but
it takes a instruments list in its constructor. what shoud this list be in case of dividend yield TS?
Is there another object more adapted to dividend yield term structure?
Thanks a lot!

You can use one of InterpolatedZeroCurve, InterpolatedDiscountCurve,  
or InterpolatedForwardCurve as you see fit.
