   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.
