In C I've been know to stuff way too much code in the condition expression [the part bewteen ( and )] of a while. A continue in Perl can often allow much of that code to be moved to a better place.

But I still don't use it much nor see it used much.

I think it was implemented to make for work and just wasn't hidden from us after it was implemented. (:
