Re: Forcing context of dot operator in Template Toolkit

Contextual::Return does one kind of magic. Template Toolkit is a different kind of magic. The magic overlaps. The magic goes Boom, and fails.

Seriously, the problem is that C::R returns a highly overloaded singleton object to "sense" the right context, which fails in TT because TT has its own simple probes for "is this an object? Yes, call a method. No, well is it a hash ref then?" and so on.

You're unlikely to get them to play together. You'll need to build a Perl shim that you can insert between the thing that returns a C::R object and that TT can actually call. Sorry about that.
