Looks that way. You could override _extend_meta so that it doesn't  
use Clone::clone, but you would still have to edit Class::DBI and the  
installation would still be messy. But then it is anyway, at the moment.

A short-term solution would be to provide your own Clone.pm and use  
it to call one of the alternatives if Clone.pm isn't available.

Or perhaps TB can be persuaded to use Clone::Any, which does exactly  
that.
