# NetApp::Filer::Version(3pm)

## 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"
```
