You might also consider an alertnate constructor that took an already 
instantiated db handle:

$c = new DBIx::Counter( 'my counter', dbh => $dbh );

chances are if someone is interested in storing their counter in the 
database, they're using that db for other things as well and may already 
have a db handle lying around.
