I would rather it be SQL::AbstractSyntaxTree because then someone would not have to "know" what AST meant to figure out if that is what needs to be used.

Personally when I see AST I think of VMS and A-Synchronous Traps. I notice that a google search shows the achronym AST is used for many computer related things besides abstract syntax trees. The CPAN rules suggest avoiding achronyms. On the other hand I find the name SQL::AbstractSyntaxTree to
