If your DBD's thread safe, CDBI should be thread safe. The DBD probably
isn't though ...

Overriding 'construct' may do the trick for you.

DBIx::Class gets round this by having a real 'new' method, which makes life
rather simpler (and also allows objects not in the db - create is just a
shortcut for ->new(...)->insert)
