doesnt sound like you need continuations, I think a simple goto is enough, just put a label at the target position.

update

my $i=0;

target();


sub target {
  rec();
 TARGET:
  print "END";
}

sub rec {
  $i++;
  print "IN $i\n";
  goto TARGET if ($i>5);     # return skipping multiple levels
  rec();                     # 6 levels recursive call
  print "OUT $i\n";          # never reached
}
