Yes, I did for the time being. However, my solution would require
tweaking the CDBI on every system and for each new release. That's why I
was asking if there were was a way to access that w/o my hack. I
couldn't find a means of directly accessing the index using either of
the following:

    Dumper(\%Class::DBI::Live_Objects)
    Dumper(\%MyDBI::Live_Objects)

Both returned empty lists.
