NAME

WebService::Audioscrobbler::Tag - An object-oriented interface to the Audioscrobbler WebService API

SYNOPSIS

This module implements an object oriented abstraction of a tag within the Audioscrobbler database.

    use WebService::Audioscrobbler::Tag;

    my $ws = WebService::Audioscrobbler->new;
    
    # get an object for the tag named 'foo'
    my $tag = $ws->tag('foo');

    # retrieves tracks tagged with 'foo'
    my @tracks = $tag->tracks;

    # prints url for viewing aditional tag info
    print $tag->url;

This module inherits from WebService::Audioscrobbler::Base.
