not sure if this works but have you tried to set the attribut within
$dsn as described in the DBI pod?

http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBI-1.42/DBI.pm

-------
"The \%attr parameter can be used to alter the default settings of
PrintError, RaiseError, AutoCommit, and other attributes. For example:

  $dbh = DBI->connect($data_source, $user, $pass, {
        PrintError => 0,
        AutoCommit => 0
  });

The username and password can also be specified using the attributes
Username and Password, in which case they take precedence over the
$username and $password parameters.

You can also define connection attribute values within the $data_source
parameter. For example:

  dbi:DriverName(PrintWarn=>1,PrintError=>0,Taint=>1):...

Individual attributes values specified in this way take precedence over
any conflicting values specified via the \%attr parameter to connect."
-------

Also, Simon maybe wants to extend Maypole::Model::CDBI::setup_database()
to allow extra arguments (as far as i can see Class::DBI::Loader
supports that) in a future release of Maypole...
