    Following up on Perlmonks.com and Perlmonks.net to redirect to Perlmonks.org

    Thanks to the support of Leo Lapworth, Olaf Alders, and Robert from Perl NOC, this site is now served from behind the Fastly CDN. The IP addresses have changed to Fastly IP addresses.

    The .com and .net domains redirect to perlmonks.org, to improve the caching of the pages.

    If you access the site logged in, you should see no difference, as the pages pass through directly to the main machines.
    Anonymous access should also be mostly unchanged except for AI scrapers.

    If you notice any adverse changes, please post a reply here.
