NAME

       NetApp::Filer::Version -- OO Class for representing NetApp Filer versions

SYNOPSIS

           use NetApp::Filer;

           my $filer = NetApp::Filer->new({ ... });

           # The "version" is: NetApp Release 7.2.2: Sat Mar 24 20:38:59 PDT 2007

           my $version = $filer->get_version;
           # $version->isa("NetApp::Filer::Version")

           print $version->get_release, "\n";
           # prints "7.2.2"

           print $version->get_date, "\n";
           # prints "Sat Mar 24 20:38:59 PDT 2007"

           print $version->get_string, "\n";
           print "$version\n";
           # Both print the same thing, the second one through operator overloading,
           # namely the original, unparsed version string

           print $version->get_version, "\n";
           # prints "v7.2.2"
