    Since the program doesn't actually halt, all state is preserved,
    including lexicals -- getting input from the browser is then similar to
    doing "$line = <>" in a command-line application.

GETTING STARTED
    The first thing to make a note of is that your application is a
    continuously running program, basically a self contained webserver. This
    is quite unlike a CGI.pm based application, which is re-started for each
    new request from a client browser. Once you step away from your CGI.pm
    experience this is actually more natural (IMO), more like writing an
    interactive desktop or command-line program.

    Here's a simple example:

      #!/usr/bin/perl

      use strict;
      use Continuity;

      my $server = new Continuity;
      $server->loop;
