.SH "NAME"
BibTeX::Author \- Contains a single author for a BibTeX document.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

This class ist a wrapper for a single BibTeX author. It is usually created
by a BibTeX::Parser.

.SH "FUNCTIONS"
.IX Header "FUNCTIONS"
.SS "new"
.IX Subsection "new"
Create new author object. Expects full name as parameter.
.SS "first"
.IX Subsection "first"
Set or get first name(s).
.SS "von"
.IX Subsection "von"
Set or get 'von' part of name.
.SS "last"
.IX Subsection "last"
Set or get last name(s).
.SS "jr"
.IX Subsection "jr"
Set or get 'jr' part of name.
.SS "split"
.IX Subsection "split"
Split name into (firstname, von part, last name, jr part). Returns array
with four strings, some of them possibly empty.
.SS "to_string"
.IX Subsection "to_string"
Return string representation of the name.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
BibTeX allows three representations of a person's name:
.IP "1." 4
First von Last
.IP "2." 4
von Last, First
.IP "3." 4
von Last, Jr, First
.PP
The module always converts the first form to the second of third one
to allow simple string comparisons.
.PP
The algorithm to determine the von part is the following: von part
consists of tokens where the first letter at brace level 0 is in lower case.
Anything in a \*(L"special characters\*(R" is on brace level 0.  Thus the following
tokens are considered von parts:  \f(CW\*(C`von\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`\eNOOP{von}Von\*(C'\fR, and
the following token is not: \f(CW\*(C`{von}\*(C'\fR
