=head1 NAME

Osgood::Event - An Osgood Event

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Events are characterized by an object and an action, which could be though
of as a noun and a verb.  The date_occurred is also important and, hopefully,
self-explanatory.  To round out the event there is a params method that
accepts a HashRef for name value pairs.

Note: object and action names are limited to 64 characters.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  my $event = Osgood::Event->new(object => 'Test', action => 'create');
