No command to close the sftp connection

I am moving my code from "ftp" to "sftp".. I have faced umpteen number of problems because of that. The biggest problem is to find a sftp command for the ftp cmds in my code. Using the ftp module i can call the "quit" command (from the script) to close the connection. I dont seem to find the similar cmd in the sftp module for closing the connection. It would be great if someone could point out how to close the sftp connection.

Re: No command to close the sftp connection

Just let the object go out of scope, or explicitly undef it.

Thanks robins.. it is working fine ;) I have used undefed the object. Pretty elegant solution though.

Close still doesn't work. I tried to "undef" the handle but the connection is still hold. Any idea what is wrong ?? Thanks for any Help, Thomas

Re: No command to close the sftp connection

Found a solution, you have to close the socket:

close($sftph->{ssh}->sock());
