in thread Difference between can_read() and select() in IO::Select

When you say <a href="http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=255590">IO::Select: select vs. can_read</a> you really mean [id://255590]. The former sends people to one of four hostnames through which PerlMonks is available, each with its own cookie domain. The latter will leave a monk logged in after following the link no matter which hostname they use.*

See Markup in the Monastery (which is linked near every node input box) for more information on markup on PerlMonks.

* It's possible to mitigate the issue somewhat if PM were to use cookies valid for the entire second-level domains perlmonks.com and perlmonks.org instead of four separate single-hostname cookies. There would still be two separate cookie domains, though, so the dynamic link rewriting would still be the way to go.
