Clownfish and Clownfish::CFC haven’t been released on CPAN yet.

If you run ‘perl/Build.PL && ./Build’ in clownfish/runtime/perl, the compiler
in clownfish/compiler/perl should be built. The warning about a missing
Clownfish::CFC can be ignored. The compiler won’t be installed if you run
‘./Build install’ in runtime/perl, though. You also have to run ‘./Build
install’ in compiler/perl.
If you install to a non-standard location, you’ll also have to set the
CLOWNFISH_INCLUDE environment variable when building Lucy. This requirement
will soon be lifted. The variable should point to the Clownfish/_include
directory underneath your install destination.
Another option is to build Lucy from an uninstalled Clownfish source tree.
Assuming you're in a directory containing the Clownfish and Lucy repos, run:
cd clownfish/runtime/perl
perl Build.PL
./Build
cd ../../..
source clownfish/devel/bin/setup_env.sh
cd lucy/perl
perl Build.PL
./Build
