I'm going on vacation soon, and I'd like to get a good book on writing
compilers--hopefully one that will help me when we actually start coding

Not really.
What I would like is an option to just *compile* a piece of perl code,

Another brilliant idea from David Nicol!
However, I'm not keen on the syntax.
I'd rather see a different keyword. I'm thinking "eval1",
but I'm not very creative. :-/
