Bennet is correct. If you're buildilng from source, you'll need perl5 and make (and git if you don't have a tarball to work from)
If you're using MoarVM backend, you'll need a C compiler, and javac for the JVM backend. Note that Perl 6 is implemented mostly in Perl 6 and NQP (Not Quite Perl 6), but only NQP is bootstrapped.
