Hi,
I'm using 'cascade_copy => 0' in a couple of my 'has_many'
relationships, and only stumbled across it by looking through the perl
actual code for the 'DBIx::Class::Relationship::HasMany' module, as it
appears to be absent from the DBIx::Class::Relationship documentation.
Here is a patch to add some notes about its use to the documentation:

database-level cascade or restrict will take precedence over a
DBIx-Class-based cascading delete.
+If you copy an object in a class with a C<has_many> relationship, all
the related
+objects will be copied as well. To turn this behaviour off, pass
+C<< cascade_copy => 0 >> in the C<$attr> hashref. The behaviour
defaults to
+C<< cascade_copy => 1 >>.

See L<DBIx::Class::Relationship::Base> for documentation on
relationship
methods and valid relationship attributes.
Thanks,
