14           my $entry = BibTeX::Parser::Author->new($full_name);

16           my $firstname = $author->first;
17           my $von       = $author->von;
18           my $last      = $author->last;
19           my $jr        = $author->jr;
20

NOTES

49       BibTeX allows three representations of a person's name:
50
51       1.  First von Last
52
53       2.  von Last, First
54
55       3.  von Last, Jr, First
56
57       The module always converts the first form to the second of third one to
58       allow simple string comparisons.
59
60       The algorithm to determine the von part is the following: von part
61       consists of tokens where the first letter at brace level 0 is in lower
62       case.  Anything in a "special characters" is on brace level 0.  Thus
63       the following tokens are considered von parts:  "von", "\NOOP{von}Von",
64       and the following token is not: "{von}"
