I've been reading Dan Sugalski's excellent blog "Squawks of the Parrot. He talks about continuations in two articles (1, 2), and it is an interesting read, but I have to confess I still don't understand them. Then I super-searched and found Perl and Prolog and Continuations... oh my!, with some sample code using continuations right at the beginning. That helped me to see the light a bit, but not too much.
Can somebody provide some code samples of what continuations are and what you would want to use them for? Thanks for excusing my ignorance :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
