NAME
    DBIx::CopyRecord - Perl module for copying records in databases within
    same table including all child tables;

SYNOPSIS
      use DBIx::CopyRecord;

      # connect 
      my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:MySQL:','login','password');
      my $CR = DBIx::CopyRecord->new($dbh);

    ### child table_name only is not yet supported.

      $rv=$CR->copyrecord(
                          { table_name => 'invoice',
                            primary_key => 'invoice_number',
                            primary_key_value => 'select seq_invoice.nextvalue FROM dual',
                            where => 'invoice_number=100',
                            child => [ { table_name => products,
                                         primary_key => line_item_id,
                                         primary_key_value => 'select seq_invoice_detail.nextvalue FROM dual', 
                                         foreign_key => invoice_number },
                                       { table_name => services } ] });

            # disconnect database
            $dbh->disconnect;

      NOTE:primary_key_value = 'NULL' for MySQL if auto_increment, 
                               a value or 'select value from sequence'

DESCRIPTION
    This module can copy records in a database whild maintaining referential
    integrity. The "copy" method is all that's needed.

USAGE
      use DBIx::CopyRecord;                    
      my $CR = DBIx::CopyRecord->new( DB HANDLE );

      RV = $CR->copyrecord(
            { table_name => TABLE NAME,
              primary_key => PRIMARY KEY COLUMN,
              primary_key_value => VALUE, NULL or SELECT,
              where => WHERE CONDITION,
              child => [ { table_name => CHILD TABLE NAME,
                           primary_key => CHILD PRIMARY KEY COLUMN,
                           primary_key_value => CHILD VALUE, NULL or SELECT, 
                           foreign_key => COLUMN NAME OF  },
                         { table_name => CHILD TABLE NAME } ] });

    Argument list: table_name primary_key primary_key_value where child

    Child table_name entry without additional arguments will attempt to
    figure out the primary key and foreign key from the database.
