But you did say it's returned instead of an array. You didn't use the words "data structure" or "data type", but you repeatedly presented it as something comparable to an array. And then you started to mix two different meanings of list. (It does not return a "list value", which refers to Perl code.) "List" is a dangerous word to use.
Here's where the documentation uses LIST
The syntax used to describe the syntax of Perl operators is not documented, but it is consistent. LIST always represents an expression evaluated in list context. (Contrast that with my, our and state which use VARLIST.)
