I disagree, most probably your assumptions are based on some C lang specific conventions including call stack manipulations. (?)

And I can't deal with your C code either, especially as it's far from short.

But I looked into the WP page for Coroutines which has an abstract definition and boils it down to two simple criteria which can be very easily mapped to Perl.

The first yield-to example with routines translates 1to1

The next example showing a generator is a bit more complex, it requires to store the exit point in a closure-var as lable-name and to goto to that lable after rentry.

This is essentially the semantic of gather-take in Perl6

NB: I didn't say using goto &NAME and goto LABEL are efficient.
