  Description     : Perl module to enable returning from a nested call stack

Return::MultiLevel provides a way to return immediately from a deeply
nested call stack. This is similar to exceptions, but exceptions don't
stop automatically at a target frame (and they can be caught by
intermediate stack frames). In other words, this is more like
setjmp(3)/longjmp(3) than die.
