Hi,

A typical genbank entry contains this reference section:

REFERENCE   1  (bases 1 to 561)
   AUTHORS   DeSilva,U., Franklin,I.R., Maddox,J.F., van Hest,B. and
             Adelson,D.L.
   TITLE     Gene Expression in Sheep Skin and Wool (Hair)
   JOURNAL   Cytogenet. Genome Res. (2003) In press

How does one go about getting at the AUTHORS section?  For each sequence,
I have tried this:

       my $ac = $seq->annotation;
       my @values = $ac->get_Annotations('reference');
       foreach my $value (@values) {
          print($value->as_text,"\n");
          }

The problem is, this only displays the REFERENCE->TITLE portion.
I want the REFERENCE->AUTHORS.
