This can/should happen in your code - simply create a CDBI-derived
CDBI::Extended object which has a CGI/HT compatible "params" method,
and pass that to associate. Hey presto!
If you're wanting to create a bunch of CDBI subclasses, then you just
subclass that CDBIE instead. Done. If you think this would be really
useful to a lot of people then encapsulate the CDBIE neatly and publish
it in CPAN.
(Alternatively, you could subclass HT, but since HT already has a
well-defined interface for feeding params in, which already
interoperates with some Perl modules, it seems more logical to add it
on the other side.)
