[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] Net::SFTP Patch

[Robert L. <rla...@ao...>]

It came to my attention that Bricolage which uses Net::SFTP was leaving
sshd connections open.  The Bric dev guys were doing a undef $sftp; to close 
the connection, but that wasn't sufficient to close the connection.  And
with apache not exiting at the end of the request cycle to force the 
connection closed, our server quickly ran out of open file handles.

I've added a close_connection method to the Net::SFTP module, and thought
that others might have use for such a method.  I also added a DESTROY
method, which I don't think necessarily belongs, but which I added just
so I wouldn't have to muck with the Bric code too...

Happy Holidays,

Rob
