APPENDIX
The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

  new
 Title   : new
 Usage   : my $obj = Bio::TreeIO::pag->new();
 Function: Builds a new Bio::TreeIO::pag object
 Returns : an instance of Bio::TreeIO::pag
 Args    : -file/-fh for filename or filehandles
           -name_length for minimum name length (default = 10)

  write_tree
 Title   : write_tree
 Usage   :
 Function: Write a tree out in Pagel format
           Some options are only appropriate for bayesianmultistate and
           the simpler output is only proper for discrete
 Returns : none
 Args    : -no_outgroups => (number)
           -print_header => 0/1 (leave 0 for discrete, 1 for bayesianms)
           -special_node => special node - not sure what they wanted to do here
           -keep_outgroup => 0/1 (keep the outgroup node in the output)
           -outgroup_ancestor => Bio::Tree::Node (if we want to exclude or include the outgroup this is what we operate on)
           -tree_no       => a tree number label - only useful for BayesianMultistate

  next_tree
 Title   : next_tree
 Usage   :
 Function:
 Example :
 Returns :
 Args    :

  name_length
 Title   : name_length
 Usage   : $self->name_length(20);
 Function: set mininum taxon name length
 Returns : integer (length of name)
 Args    : integer
