I am a continental knitter and I do not "wrap" the yarn, instead the yarn is held taught and the right needle reaches and grabs/or scoops the yarn.

While I try to avoid pfb when writing patterns, the current one I am making has them and I am finally comfortable with them.

purl the first leg, now, move the working yarn behind the needle and behind the back leg of the stitch. Bring your right needle tip in front of that back leg and scoop or grab the working yarn and pull it through and then pull that back leg off the left needle.

I know how to knit through the back loop, but can anyone explain to me how to purl through back loop?  I’ve tried, but I can’t figure it out. Or is it too complicated to explain, and I need to get someone to show me?  I know a very good knitter, but she’s not so good at explaining patiently.
