       This is a simple object tag interface that provides string-like objects that have authors assigned to
       them. For use in attributing tags to authors in the Bio::DB::Tagger module.

   METHODS
       $tag = Bio::DB::Tagger::Tag->new(-name=>$tag, -author=>$author [,-value=> $value,
       ,-modified=>$timestamp]);
           Create a new tag with the indicated value and author.

       $name = $tag->name
           Return the tag's name.

       $value = $tag->value;
           Return the tag's value.

       $timestamp = $tag->modified
           Return the tag's modification timestamp.

       $author = $tag->author;
           Return the tag's author

       $int = $tag->cmp($tag,$reversed)
           Perform a string cmp() operation on another tag or a string.  If a string is provided, then operation
           is on tag name only.  If a tag is provided, then operation is on both tag and value.
