I'm in the same situation and do essentially the same thing, but I've 
ended up doing it by way of a separate 'ghost' class that can shadow 
and mimic any Class::DBI class. Unfortunately, perhaps, this is all 
wrapped up with my Class::DBI::Factory (which is basically a way to 
make class data and methods easy to get at from a template or handler) 
but if you have a look at Class::DBI::Factory::Ghost, there may be 
something worth taking.
