how to close shh connection

Adler has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all, in my program i wrote, i use Net::SSH::Perl module. I can open ssh connection and do what i want, but what i dont know is how to close my ssh connection. i tried close( $ssh) and $ssh->close, but it doesnt work. i searched a bit in the net, and i saw that i need to let to connection to reach its timeout and then it ill be closed. I would like to know if at present there is a way to close ssh connection? if still not, how could i check if my ssh connection is still open? Thanks

I am not sure about perl implementation, but `ssh->cmd("exit")` should do the trick, it is an applied ssh level command, not a module method level so it should work in warper one I think connection is present till $ssh->session_id is defined =)	[reply] [d/l]

`ssh->cmd("exit")` will do mostly nothing. The proper way to close the connection is to undefine the $ssh variable, or just to let it go out of scope: `undef $ssh;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
