How To Install libcps-perl on Debian 12
Introduction

What is libcps-perl
libcps-perl is:
CPS is a Perl module that enables developers to write code in Continuation Passing Style, which is a style of writing code where the normal call/return mechanism is replaced by explicit “continuations”. It is useful whenever some form of asynchronous or event-based programming is in use.
Note: This module is entirely deprecated now. It is maintained for compatibility for any code still using it, but please consider rewriting to use Future instead, which offers a far neater method of representing asynchronous program and data flow. In addition, Future::AsyncAwait can further improve readability of Future-based code by letting it use the familiar kinds of Perl control structure while still being asynchronous.
