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"
