perlsyn says you can't have
        for (EXPR; EXPR; EXPR) BLOCK continue BLOCK
(or at least doesn't list it as allowed). Unfortunately, perl seems to
agree:

$ perl -e 'for ($i = 0; $i < 10; ++$i) { } continue { }'
syntax error at -e line 1, near "} continue"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

It'd be nice if that were possible...
