clone() stuff

[jmmills]

Sorry it took me so long to get to fixing this. Sort of left my orbit.
It seems that Clone::Fast was having some issues so I simplified the whole interface to just use Storable::dclone which is both mature and available in core (from forever ago).
The original idea behind having a chain of available "cloning drivers" was to leverage Clone::Fast's performance when available on the system; since the operation is happening on a row by row level it seems like something important.
But, for now it's probably just to get the interface update out their and worry about performance increases later.

Thanks,

• J

p.s. I'm still confused as to what broke with Clone::Fast - I will have to dig further and take up any issue I find with that dist's author.

Oi! Just noticed a install failure on a vanilla debian install and noticed that the 11-clone.t test fails do to a stale version of Test::More (doesn't include new_ok test) shipped with the distro.
Figure there are two possible solutions:
a) Set a min version in the Makefile.PL's requires
b) Modify the test to do what new_ok does manually

I removed new_ok() and pushed it. b54a3d2 Thanks! :)
