Perl Compiler source file (fwd)

Hello,

I m working in optimizing compilers, So, i want to study the perl 
compiler, how it compiles the program, and generate c code, and nay 
opportunities to improve the compilation process.

But i could not find the files of perl source code, that usually do the 
compilation part.

So, if you know about the source files, used for compilation please let me 
know, also if you have any documentation related to it.

Thanks,

sapna
