The first example is the same as
  def meow
    yield
  end

  meow {
    puts "in proc"
    break
    puts "leaving proc"
  }

The second example is more akin to

  def meow(&block)
    block[]
  end

  meow {
    puts "in proc"
    break
    puts "leaving proc"
  }

than what you gave.  Note that the only thing that changed is the
definition of meow - not the invocation.

Also - for my list example, I of course meant
  list_of_methods_args.each {|meth, *args|
     meth.call(*args, &special_magic)
  }
as opposed to the original
  list_of_methods_args.each {|meth, *args|
     meth.call(args, &special_magic)
  }
-- change is `meth.call(args' to meth.call(*args' --
