META.yml requires SQL::Abstract, and grepping through the code this
seems like a valid claim (it's use'd in DBIx::Class::SQLMaker which
is use'd in quite some other modules). So for me Recommends sounds
about right -- usually you would want libsql-translator-perl
installed, and if not you can always (uninstall it|turn off
Recommends).

Cheers,
gregor
