Description
In this MR Clone 0.46 was added as a requirement for this repo. This means that this repo can not be used as pure perl. This is a problem for me because I'm trying to fatpack the repo into my utility.
One possible solution is to use Clone::Choose instead of Clone.

Research direction
Start with commit 6b89d6b2cce67b540ade87fc6fdf88cdede20b46 to locate where Clone 0.46 became a requirement. Investigate whether Clone::Choose can replace that dependency while preserving the library's behavior, then verify that HTTP-Message can be fatpacked without requiring Clone. Done means the distribution no longer requires Clone while its cloning behavior remains supported.
