Semi-OT: Good compiler book?

[Brent Dax]

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
Perl 6.  Any suggestions?  I have no formal education on compilers, and
I only know C, C++ and Perl (duh).

(If this is too off-topic, let me know.)

Thanks,
