NAME
       Crypt::DSA::Signature - DSA signature object

SYNOPSIS
	   use Crypt::DSA::Signature;
	   my $sig = Crypt::DSA::Signature->new;

	   $sig->r($r);
	   $sig->s($s);

DESCRIPTION
       Crypt::DSA::Signature represents a DSA signature. It has 2 methods, r and s, which are the big number representations of the 2 pieces of
       the DSA signature.

USAGE
   Crypt::DSA::Signature->new( %options )
       Creates a new signature object, and optionally initializes it with the information in %options, which can contain:

       o   Content

	   An ASN.1-encoded string representing the DSA signature. In ASN.1 notation, this looks like:

	       SEQUENCE {
		   r INTEGER,
		   s INTEGER
	       }

	   If Content is provided, new will automatically call the deserialize method to parse the content, and set the r and s methods on the
	   resulting Crypt::DSA::Signature object.

   $sig->serialize
       Serializes the signature object $sig into the format described above: an ASN.1-encoded representation of the signature, using the ASN.1
       syntax above.
