After cloning, my DBI database handles barf with:

Can't call prepare method on handle DBI::db=HASH(0x25755c8) after 
take_imp_data() at ../lib/Radio/Four/Programme.pm line 104.

A DBH is something can't be cloned (at least by Clone) since there are
too many underlying objects like C structures, file handles, etc that
Clone doesn't handle.  

A DBI database handle does have it's own clone method. I have considered
having Clone check an object for a native clone method and using that in
preference of it's own, but I think it might be a little too ambitious
for me.

Having Clone check a blessed reference for a clone method should be 
really simple, using UNIVERSAL isa, so why not give it a shot?  Sounds 
like a great return for a little investment...!

Just a thought. I could supply you a patch ?

Hi Lee,

I'm glad you wrote, I had lost your previous email when I deleted an 
entire month of archived messages.

By all means, if you want to supply a patch I will gladly look at it.
