Proc

The Proc is the procedure object, which is the encapsulated block with context, such as local variables and stack frames. The Proc object acts like an unnamed function except it does not have its own local variable scope. (Although, local variables which appear first in the block can have distinct value for each Proc.) The non local jump such as return, break, next, redo, retry raise the exceptions, once returned from Proc creation methods.
