http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2004/04/15/parrot_compiler_construction.html
is probably relevant (although he gave up on compiling to perl
itself,and instead wrote the project to compile to parrot[0], there's
a bit of discussion of what the to-perl compilation process looks
like).




[0] Parrot is the backend for the
probably-going-to-be-finished-someday perl6. If parrot were more
common, it'd probably be a better target for your compiler than
perl5. But it's certainly not commonly available now.
