Why does this even compile? Obviously it's a mistype in the "continue", and it doesn't quite do what is wanted, but I'm a annoyed, and puzzled, by what it does now. Any clues? 
#! perl -wl
use strict;
for my $i (1 .. 10) {
    print $i;
} cxontinue {
    print "#";
    print "-";
}

Result: 
Can't call method "cxontinue" without a package or object reference at
+ test.pl line 5.

This is what B::Deparse makes of it, equally strange: 


foreach my $i (1 .. 10) {
    print $i;
}
do { print '#';
print '-' }->cxontinue;

test.pl syntax OK
