That actually does properly return qw/Larry Curly Moe/ if called in a LIST context but it doesn't permit me to have more than one return context.

• If I add another one, Contextual::Return::SCALAR( sub{ 3 }), I get a syntax error.
• If I || those two conditions on the same line (thinking if the first fails, I'll get the SCALAR context), I get told that "main::funner() cannot be called in boolean context".
• If I call funner() in a scalar context when I just have only have the LIST contextual return clause i get this out of Data::Dumper:

$VAR1 = {
          'result' => bless( do{\(my $o = undef)}, 'Contextual::Return
+::Value' )
        };

So it seems you're closer... but it's still a breakin'.
