In principle I like the idea, but in practice it's going to be tricky as
the SQL required to create the schema will be different for each
database.

Class::DBI::DATA::Schema has a way of dealing with that, using
SQL::Translator, but I don't want to make that a pre-req of CDBI itself.
Perhaps we could do something where if you have all that installed then
you can do this?
