I've heard that ocaml supports continuations through something called
monads. is this documented somewhere? are they as flexible as say
scheme continuations?

This is just an elegant way of saying that actually, OCaml does not 
support continuations.

Whatever you can do to get Continuations via Monads in OCaml, you could do 
just the same way in, say, even Perl.
