You may not have, but others have
Just to clarify things a little. The page you have referenced, does not provide any specific example where the file descriptor would be closed by something other than the program itself. And I dare to say, that Linux kernel never closes handles opened by application unless application requests it. I don't believe perl would do it either. If you know about such place in perl, please point it out, so that I could avoid this swampy area in the future.
I don't know how the things are done on Windows. But really, if Windows kernel closes your handles behind your back, then it is another reason for me not to use it :) It's a joke of course. But practical outcome is then, that IO::Select is not usable on Windows, but it shouldn't introduce any problems on Linux, as long as the user does the right thing. IMHO.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
