from the Docs for Bio::DB::Genbank:

    $seq = $gb->get_Seq_by_acc('J00522'); # Accession Number
    $seq = $gb->get_Seq_by_version('J00522.1'); # Accession.version
    $seq = $gb->get_Seq_by_gi('405830'); # GI Number

So, you might try using get_Seq_by_version(....).  I didn't test it, but give 
that a shot.
